Hoyas Fall to Xavier In BIG EAST Home Opener

WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team fell to the Xavier University Musketeers 5-1 in 12 innings on Thursday afternoon at Capital One Park. With the loss in Tysons, Virginia, the Hoyas slip to 16-14 on the season and 0-1 in conference play while the Musketeers improve to 11-20 and 2-2 in league action.

ON THE RECORD

"Quite the BIG EAST opener. You saw two teams competing at a high level. Their pitchers were doing a very good job. But I thought today, Spencer Seid was really special. Taking a perfect game to the ninth inning is hard to do in college baseball, and 10 strikeouts, no walks, truly was special. Unfortunately we didn't support him enough there. But you know, we had some really big moments, but just needed to find a way to get the big hit when it mattered, and we weren't able to today. Had opportunities, but that's a good team. We have to come back out tomorrow and try to even the series." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson

HOYA HIGHLIGHTS

  • Spencer Seid was sensational for the Hoyas, carrying a perfect game into the ninth inning. Seid tossed 8.1 innings punching out 10 and allowing just two hits and one run.
  • Connor Peek went 2-for-5 with a homer, a run scored and an RBI.
  • Connor Price went 1-for-4.
  • Brett Blair was 1-for-5.
  • Dylan Larkins went 2-for-5.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Thursday's contest belonged to the pitching staff on both sides of the game. Georgetown was able to break through in the top of the fourth as Peek launched a solo home run to left field to give the Hoyas a 1-0 lead.
  • The Musketeers evened things up in the bottom of the ninth with an RBI double to tie the game at 1-1.
  • Xavier took control in the bottom of the 12th, starting with a sacrifice fly to take the lead before adding an RBI single, a bases-loaded walk, and a run scored on an error to secure the 5-1 win.

OF NOTE

  • Peek notched his fourth home run of the year.

UP NEXT

The Hoyas will be back in action on Friday, April 3 at Capital One Park for game two of the three-game series against the Xavier Musketeers. First pitch in Tysons, Virginia is scheduled for 3 p.m.
