BOWIE, Md. - The Georgetown University baseball team blanked Seton Hall for the second-straight game with its 9-0 victory at Prince George's Stadium on Saturday, marking the first time in program history it has posted back-to-back shutouts against a BIG EAST opponent. GU jumped to 26-17 overall with a 7-7 BIG EAST mark while the Pirates fell to 13-30 overall with a 3-8 conference record.

"An unbelievable job by Carter Bosch. He pitched well enough and strong enough to handle business today. Our offense was really consistent. We had five two-out hits, including a big three-run double from Cam Meyer. Nolan Matsko played some unbelievable defense and had a big hit for us as well. Overall, a positive day with limited walks and allowing just four hits." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on today's win
