WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team fell to the Seton Hall Pirates 5-4 behind a walk-off three-run blast from SHU. With the loss, GU slides to 14-36 on the season and 2-14 in BIG EAST play while the Pirates improve to 21-28 and 7-9 in conference play. 
 
ON THE RECORD
"Today was a really good baseball game and both teams competed hard all nine innings. I thought JT Raab was unbelievable once again and he was just magnificent on the mound and in complete control.  I really liked our fight and how we competed overall, but we couldn't get the stop when we needed it the most. I am really proud of our fight, and we will regroup and be ready to go tomorrow." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson 
 
HOYA HIGHLIGHTS 
  • JT Raab was sensational, tossing 6.0 innings allowing six hits and one run while striking out 11. Raab's 11 strikeouts tie his career best of 11 which he set against Butler on April 17. 
  • Kavi Caster was 1-for-3 with a run scored, a double and two walks. 
  • Owen Carapellotti went 1-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI. 
  • Connor Price was 2-for-5 with an RBI and a double. 
  • Blake Schaaf went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a double and two walks. 
  • Jaden Sheffield was 2-for-5 with an RBI. 
  • Ashtin Gilio went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The first frame was scoreless for both sides as both pitchers faced the minimum through one. 
  • Georgetown struck first in the second after an RBI single from Gilio scored Schaaf giving GU a 1-0 advantage. The Blue & Gray then loaded the bases but were unable to bring any runners home, taking the one-run advantage into the bottom half of the frame. 
  • The Pirates evened the contest in the bottom of the third with a solo home run to center field. Raab went on to retire the Pirates in order after the solo shot, picking up two of the three outs with strikeouts. 
  • The fourth was scoreless for both sides as Raab continued to dominate, closing the fourth with his seventh strikeout of the day. The righty picked up right where he left off in the fourth grabbing two more punchouts in the fifth as the 1-1 score remained heading into the sixth frame. 
  • Despite a leadoff single and stolen base from Price, GU was unable to bring him home leaving one stranded in scoring position in the top of the sixth. Raab came back out for the bottom half of the inning and grabbed another two strikeouts as the graduate student ended the frame with his 11th punch out of the day. 
  • Georgetown was able to put runners on first and second with one out after back-to-back walks. The Blue & Gray was unable to bring either home, leaving two stranded in the top of the seventh. The Pirates threatened putting runners on the corners with one out. GU was able to grab the second out by way of pickoff before getting a groundout to end the inning. 
  • Schaaf hit a leadoff double to start the eighth and was able to advance to third on a wild pitch putting the go-ahead run 90-feet from home. Jaden Sheffield hit a pop up between first and right field and a miscommunication by the Pirate defense allowed the ball to drop in allowing Schaaf to score giving GU a 2-1 lead. The Pirates responded with a leadoff triple. After a walk, the Pirates hit an RBI single up the middle tying the game at 2-2. GU was able to get out of a bases loaded jam heading to the ninth even. 
  • Caster stepped up to the dish with one out and laced a double down the right field line. After Jeremy Sheffield grounded out, moving Caster to third, Carapellotti stepped up to the plate. The senior ripped an RBI single to right field, scoring Caster which gave GU a one-run advantage. In the ensuing at bat, Price blasted an RBI double off the center field wall scoring Carapellotti giving GU the 4-2 advantage. 
  • The Pirates put runners on the corners with one out in the ninth. A three-run walk off homer gave the Pirates the 5-4 victory. 
 
OF NOTE
  • Raab's 11 punchouts are the most in a game this season by a Hoya and it is the second time Raab has tallied 11 in 2025. Eleven strikeouts is a career best for the graduate student and the last time he tallied 11 was April 17 when the graduate student tossed six innings en route to a 14-3 victory over Butler. 
  • Price and Jaden Sheffield tallied multi-hit games. 
  • Carapellotti tallied his 47th RBI of the season.
