WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team dropped a 6-0 decision in the second game of its BIG EAST-opening series at the University of Connecticut on Saturday afternoon at Elliott Ballpark in Storrs, Connecticut. With the loss, the Hoyas slip to 0-3 on the season and 0-2 in conference play, while the Huskies move to 16-12 overall and 2-0 in the BIG EAST.
The remainder of the series, the second game of Saturday's doubleheader and Sunday's series finale, have been canceled due to an abundance of caution with COVID-19 concerns.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- UConn scored single runs in each of the first two innings, before adding two runs in both the third and the fourth innings to provide the 6-0 margin.
- The Hoyas had just three base runners with Nolan's single in the third and walk in the sixth, as well as a Matt Stone hit-by-pitch in the fifth inning
