The Mount St. Mary's baseball team saw its four-game win streak
snapped at Georgetown, 3-1, on Wednesday afternoon at Shirley
Povich Field.
The Mount (7-10) jumped to an early 1-0 with a run in the top of
the second. Ryan Murray and Stephan Fay singled to open the inning
and Matt Trusch walked to load the bases with no out. Murray then
scored when Matt Eiden hit into a double play and Georgetown (9-11)
starter Tim Adleman pitched out of the jam.
The Hoyas answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning
off Mount starter Andrew Germuth. Mark McLaughlin's RBI double
plated Kelly Muir with the game-tying run.
Georgetown scored the winning runs in the bottom of the third.
Brandon Davis had an RBI double to break the tie and Matt
Iannetta's sacrifice fly made the score 3-1. From there,
Georgetown held the Mount off the scoreboard the rest of the
way.
Germuth allowed three runs in five innings while striking out
five for the Mount. Adleman struck out eight and allowed four hits
in 6.1 innings to earn the win. Dustin Pease pitched three
scoreless innings of relief for the Mount, striking out seven
while not allowing a hit.
The Mount returns to action on Saturday with a pair of home
games. The Mount will host Bucknell at 1:00 p.m. and Stony Brook
at 4:00 p.m. at E.T. Straw Family Stadium on campus.
