Hoyas Fall to No. 15 UConn

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team fell to the No. 15 UConn Huskies 12-5 on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the Hoyas move to 22-17 and 5-5 in BIG EAST action while the Huskies improve to 28-10 and 5-2 in conference play.
 
ON THE RECORD
"That was a great game by their Pitcher Sears and he was dominant today. When that happens, we need to make sure we take advantage of what we can, and we didn't get guys on early enough. I loved our fight at the end and obviously I wish we would have done that earlier in the game to make things a little closer, but I loved our fight and the way we competed. Tip our cap to them and they kept us off balance and did a good job. We will be ready to go tomorrow for the double header and we look forward to the opportunity to compete again." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson
 
HOYA HIGHLIGHTS   
HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The first two frames were scoreless for both sides. In the third, UConn was able to add one as a runner was on third and the Huskies hit a line drive off Catlett's foot that bounced away from the mound allowing the runner to score. 
  • In the fourth, UConn added three runs, two of which came on a two-run home run with two outs. The Huskies took the 4-0 lead into the fifth inning. 
  • The fifth and sixth frames were scoreless for both sides. UConn's pitcher, Andrew Sears, was dominant on the mound holding the Hoyas to zero hits through six frames. 
  • In the seventh, Carapellotti recorded the Hoyas' first hit today on an infield single. Carapellotti then advanced to second on an errant pickoff attempt. He then moved to third on a passed ball and was brought home on a Hyde ground out to second. 
  • In the bottom half of the seventh, the Huskies were able to add six runs on four hits giving the Huskies a 10-run advantage heading into the eighth. 
  • In the eighth, the Hoyas were able to load the bases and then bring Ficca home on a sac fly from Angelo D'Acunto. In the ensuing at bat, Carapellotti hit a three-run bomb to right, cutting the Huskie lead to six. 
  • In the bottom half of the inning, the Huskies were able to add one run on one hit and left three stranded. UConn took the 12-5 lead into the top of the ninth. 
  • The Hoyas were unable to mount a comeback falling 12-5 to the No. 15 Huskies.
