Hoyas Knocked Off by St. John’s 10-9 in Extras

QUEENS, N.Y. - The Georgetown University baseball team battled back-and-forth with St. John's through 11 innings before falling to the Red Storm 10-9 on Sunday. The Hoyas dropped to 29-21 overall and 8-10 in BIG EAST play while the Red Storm jumped to 22-28-1 overall and 7-9-1 in conference action.

"That was an unbelievable baseball game. I'm really proud of how our guys competed and fought back multiple times in this game after being down. Unfortunately, we came up a little bit short and it really came down to who hit last. Cam Meyer had a fun day to watch as a fan with his two home runs." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on today's game
