Hoyas Drop Doubleheader at UConn

STORRS, Conn. – The Georgetown University baseball team dropped both games of its doubleheader with UConn on Friday 4-2 and 10-3. With the losses, GU slides to 12-22 overall and 1-4 in conference action while the Huskies improve to 16-17 and 4-4 in league action.
 
ON THE RECORD
"I am really proud of how JT Raab gave us an unbelievable start in game one, going six innings before leaving with the lead again. We had another lead going into the back part of the game and unfortunately, you know, they came back and did what they needed to do to scratch a couple runs across. Credit to them, we had some situations early with bases loaded in the third inning, I think we just couldn't get going with one out. Their guy did a good job settling in and their left hander did a good job as well. 
 
I thought in game two, again, we had a lead early. Then they had a big inning with five runs. You know, I think they just executed better. They showed why they've been to six regionals in a row. They do a good job of executing and we didn't execute at the level we needed to in order to be competitive in the second game." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson

HOW IT HAPPENED GAME ONE
  • After a scoreless first, GU was able to put runners on first and second with one out in the top of the second. Jaden Sheffield stepped up to the dish and ripped an RBI single through the left side giving GU an early 1-0 advantage. The Huskies responded quickly with a leadoff solo home run tying the game at 1-1. 
  • GU was able to retake the lead in the third on a bunt from Price that brought Thomas home. The Blue & Gray was then able to load the bases, but the Huskies got out of the jam with a foul out down the third base line. 
  • The fourth was scoreless for both sides. The fifth and sixth were more of the same as neither offense was able to generate many base runners. Raab continued his impressive performance on the mound picking up five punch outs through the first six frames.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, UConn was able to tie it up 2-2 with a solo home run. 
  • UConn was able to load the bases with three-consecutive walks in the eighth. A fourth-straight walk brought home a run for the Huskies giving UConn a 3-2 advantage. In the ensuing at bat, a ground out brought another runner home for UConn extending the lead to two. 
  • GU was unable to mount a comeback in the ninth dropping game one 4-2.
