Hoyas Top St. John’s, 5-4

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University softball team managed a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the St. John's University Red Storm in a BIG EAST Conference matchup on Saturday afternoon at the Mount Vernon Softball Complex in Washington, D.C. With the win, the Hoyas improve to 9-9 on the season and 2-3 in league play, while the Red Storm sits at 21-9 and 2-3 in the conference.

Head Coach Karla Ross

"Today's win was a great one for the Hoyas, the ladies showed true grit and resilience after falling behind quickly. They continue to grow and learn game by game and are proving to themselves they have the ability to compete with anyone."
 
Hoya Highlights
  • Claire Turner went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, while Devyn Johnson was 2-for-3 with a run scored.
  • Gabby Park added a 1-for-2 performance with two RBIs and a run scored, and Dayanara Campos added a home run, one run and a pair of RBIs.
  • Marina Egbert pitched six innings in the circle and took the win with one strikeout, while Catherine Larson was credited with one strikeout and the save.
How it Happened
  • The Red Storm put up four runs in the top of the first, as the Hoyas were faced with an uphill battle.
  • The Blue & Gray responded in the bottom of the inning after Turner reached on the fielder's choice before Campos knocked one out of the park for the two-run shot to make it 4-2.
  • In the bottom of the second, Brooke Rebhan reached on an error followed by a single from Johnson to put two runners on.
  • Park sent a ball to center field allowing both Rebhan and Johnson to cross the plate to knot the contest at four.
  • Turner kept it going with a two-out double to left, allowing Park to score to give GU the 5-4 lead.
  • From that point on, the Hoya defense stood tall and did not allow another Red Storm run despite runners on as the Blue & Gray held on for the 5-4 victory.
Of Note
  • Campos home run was the 26th of her career placing her third on GU's all-time list and just four away from breaking the record.
