Baseball Falls 11-8 to St. John’s in Queens

QUEENS, N.Y. - The Georgetown University baseball team dropped its Saturday contest, an 11-8 loss at St. John's. The Hoyas fell to 29-20 overall and 8-9 in BIG EAST play while the Red Storm jumped to 21-28-1 overall and 6-8-1 in conference action.

"It was one of those days that St. John's played well enough to win. They got the stops they needed but I loved our fight late in the game to make it close. Miller Freeman and Michael Willis came out of the bullpen for us and got the stops we needed late. We'll come back tomorrow with a chance to win the series." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on tonight's game

HOYA HIGHLIGHTS
  • Ethan Stern extended his reached base streak to 26 games with his 3-for-5 showing at the dish with two RBIs.
  • Jake Hyde posted his 24th multi-hit game of the season, going 2-for-4 with a pair of tallies and an RBI.
  • Michael Eze came off the bench and smacked a pair of singles while scoring two runs on the day.
  • Cam Meyer crossed home plate twice while Owen Carapellotti recorded one tally against SJU.
  • Andrew Ciufo, Ubaldo Lopez and Nolan Matsko drove in one run apiece.
  • Freeman and Willis tossed a combined scoreless 1.2 innings of work.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Both teams were held off the board in the first before a 31-minute rain delay came into effect.
  • When play resumed, the Hoyas broke through in the top of the second with a bases-loaded walk to Matsko (1-0). 
  • The Johnnies knotted the game at one in the home half of the second inning before taking the lead with a two-run third (3-1).
  • Following a blank fourth, Georgetown cut the Red Storm lead to one in the fifth when Hyde capitalized on a throwing error by the shortstop and slid around St. John's catcher for the second Hoya run (3-2).
  • The Johnnies pushed its lead to four in the bottom of the fifth (6-2).
  • Once again, GU chipped away with a two-run sixth. After a two-out triple by Meyer, Ciufo smacked a sacrifice fly to left, plating the Hoya third baseman (6-3). Three batters later, Stern brought Eze around to score on an RBI single (6-4). 
  • St. John's scored a combined five unanswered runs in the sixth and seventh to take an 11-4 lead. 
  • In the top of the eighth, the Hoyas battled back with a four-spot. Hyde laced an RBI double down the left field line before Stern placed a one-run single on the same chalk (11-6). After an RBI groundout by Lopez, Stern scored on a wild pitch and pulled GU to within three (11-8).
  • The Hoyas tried to rally in the ninth but a spectacular diving catch in right field flipped the momentum before St. John's knocked off GU 11-8.
