Rally Falls Short to Coppin State

BETHESDA, Md. – The Georgetown University baseball team scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth, and had the tying run in scoring position, but fell just short in a 6-5 loss to Coppin State on Tuesday night at Shirley Povich Field. It was the home opener for the Hoyas, who drop to 3-9 on the season, while the Eagles move to 2-5.
 
HOYA HIGHLIGHTS
  • Jack Weeks started on the mound and went 6.0 innings, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out a career-high eight batters.
  • Ryan M. Davis and Eddie McCabe each had three hits to lead the offense, and McCabe had a pair of RBIs.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Hoyas opened the scoring in the bottom of the second as singles by Yareb Martinez, Alex Gamache and Tony Barreca produced a run.
  • Coppin State tied the game 1-1 with a run in the top of the third.
  • The score remained the same until the Eagles scored two runs in the top of the seventh. They added another in the eighth to go up 4-1.
  • In the bottom of the eighth, the Hoyas loaded the bases with one out on a pair of singles and a hit by pitch. Freddy Achecar III singled into center field to score Davis and make it 4-2.
  • Coppin State responded with a pair of solo home runs in the top of the ninth.
  • Georgetown put two runners on in the bottom of the ninth before McCabe delivered a two-run double to the scoreboard in left-center field. AJ Lotsis followed with a double of his own to the wall in right field to push McCabe across the plate to make it a one-run game.
  • The Hoyas could not get Lotsis home to tie the game, falling by the 6-5 score.
