Baseball Erases Four-Run Deficit to Top Maryland Eastern Shore

WASHINGTON – After being down by as many as four runs, the Georgetown University baseball team erased its deficit with seven unanswered runs, downing host Maryland Eastern Shore, 9-7, and extending its winning streak to four games on Wednesday afternoon.

"What a great win tonight after being down in the middle part of the game. Our guys came back out and found a way to win when it didn't look great. Anthony Redfern was the story of the game after Carter Bosch gave us a solid start. Ayden Head worked us out of bases-loaded trouble in the eighth and was awesome for two innings. Great win and we're looking forward to playing at home this weekend." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on today's victory

HOYA HIGHLIGHTS
  • Adam Dapkewicz put forth a 4-for-4 performance with a pair of doubles and three runs scored. The Hoya catcher is the first with a four-hit game since Eddie McCabe against Butler on May 21, 2021.
  • Jake Hyde extended his hitting streak to eight games with his single in the opening frame. He finished the day 3-for-6 at the dish with three RBIs and two runs scored.
  • Evan Blum and Andrew Bergeron logged two hits apiece against the Hawks, combining for two runs and an RBI. 
  • Andrew Redfern secured his first win of the year, tossing two scoreless frames with a strikeout.
  • Ayden Head picked up his first save with the Hoyas, logging two innings of work and a pair of punchouts.
  • The Hoyas recorded six stolen bases and six extra-base hits (5 2B, 1 HR) this afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a pair of scoreless frames to start the game, Bergeron broke through for the Hoyas (5-3) in the third, driving in Dapkewicz on a double to left and taking a 1-0 lead.
  • The Hawks (0-8) responded with one run in the third and two in the fourth to take a 3-1 edge.
  • Georgetown cut its deficit to one (3-2) after Dapkewicz doubled, swiped third and crossed the plate on a Hyde groundout for his second tally of the afternoon.
  • UMES recorded three runs in the fifth to extend its advantage to four (6-2).
  • The comeback began in the sixth when Ubaldo Lopez smacked his second homer in as many days with a two-run shot and cut the Hoya deficit in half, 6-4.
  • Following an Ethan Stern RBI single in the seventh (6-5), GU rallied with two outs in the eighth and unloaded a four-spot on UMES. After a Dapkewicz walk and a Bergeron single to put runners on the corners, Hyde slapped a two-run double to left and claimed the lead, 7-6. Michael Eze smacked an RBI single (8-6) and then swiped both second and third before scoring on an error (9-6). 
  • The Hawks were threatening with runners on the corners when Ayden Head came on in relief in the bottom of the eighth. After a strikeout to Derrick Mayes, the Hoya newcomer loaded the bases with a walk, but he locked in after the free pass, forcing a pop out to second before punching out the next batter to end the Hawk opportunity.
  • Maryland Eastern Shore scored one in the ninth before falling to Georgetown, 9-7.

OF NOTE
  • The Hoyas smacked five doubles in a game for the first time since facing the Hawks (05/08/19).
  • Georgetown recorded at least 15 hits in a contest for the first time since squaring off with Rider (04/20/19).
  • The squad's six stolen bases are the most since recording five against Butler last season (05/21/21).

UP NEXT
The Hoyas will look to extend their winning streak to five when UMass comes to Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy for a three-game series beginning on Friday, March 4.
