Bosch Strikes Out 11, Hyde and Lopez Tie HR Record in 6-4 Victory over Xavier

WALDORF, Md. - Starter Carter Bosch struck out a career-high 11 batters while Jake Hyde and Ubaldo Lopez tied the single-season home run record in Georgetown's 6-4 victory over Xavier on Saturday. GU jumped to 23-16 overall with a 5-6 BIG EAST record while the Musketeers fell to 20-20 with a 4-4 conference record.

"What a day for the Hoyas to even the series. Really proud of our guys to come back and do that. Carter Bosch was electric and in control of all his pitches, followed by Jack Weeks coming in and giving us what we needed against a competitive offense. Offensively, the three home runs and how we manufactured runs were great. Looking forward to tomorrow." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on tonight's win

HOYA HIGHLIGHTS
  • Bosch picked up his fourth win of the season, punching out 11 batters and allowing no walks in 6.2 innings of work. The Hoya righty struck out at least two batters in an inning on four occasions. He also struck out five of the six batters he faced in the fifth and sixth frames.
  • Lopez and Hyde tied Georgetown's single-season record for home runs, each smashing a solo shot and matching Glen Bruckner's mark of 15 set in 1987.
  • Hyde along with Christian Ficca and Ethan Stern all finished with two hits and an RBI on the afternoon.
  • Owen Carapellotti rounded out the Hoyas with a home run, smacking his eighth of the season.
  • Weeks picked up his first career save, tossing 2.1 innings of no-hit ball while striking out one

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After the Musketeers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, the Hoyas responded with a two-spot in the home half. Tony Barreca and Hyde smacked back-to-back singles to start the frame before being brought around on a Lopez sacrifice fly and an RBI groundout by Stern, respectively (2-1). 
  • Bosch worked back-to-back 1-2-3 innings in the second and third, keeping the Hoyas ahead by one.
  • Lopez delivered a solo shot in the bottom of the third to bump the GU lead to two (3-1).
  • Two innings later, Hyde rocketed a solo homer to right before a Ficca RBI single bumped GU's edge to 5-1.
  • Carapellotti drilled a solo shot of his own in the sixth and lifted the Hoya lead to five (6-1).
  • Xavier battled back with a three-run seventh, cutting its deficit to two (6-4).
  • Weeks closed the door over the final two innings to pick up the save and down the Musketeers 6-4.

OF NOTE
  • The Hoyas have tallied nine saves and 328 strikeouts this season, cracking the program's top 10 in both categories.
  • Georgetown also moved to 13-3 when its pitchers retire 10 or more batters on strikes.
