• The Short Story: Johns Hopkins took advantage of their late game opportunities, erasing a 5-4 deficit by scoring two runs in the eighth inning and three in the ninth to take a 9-5 victory over UMass Boston.

How it Happened

• Johns Hopkins cracked the scoreboard first with a two out rally in the top of the second. Sam Browning kicked things off with a lead off double and then was plated by Dylan Whitney who roped a double after him. Isaiah Winikur proceeded to jack a two run homer to left field to put the Jays up 3-0.
• The Beacons would have a quick answer in the bottom half of the inning, stringing together three doubles to start the inning off and bringing all three of those guys in to score.
• The next run would not come until the fifth inning when Chris Ducko grounded into a fielders choice to score Justin Gouevia to give the Beacons their first lead of the game, 4-3.
• The Blue Jays found themselves with a 5-4 deficit heading into the top of the eighth, needing to strike to take the lead back. Tripp Myers and Caleb Cyr worked themselves on base with a single and a walk respectively. After a wild pitch, both Cyr and Myers advanced into scoring position and a second wild pitch would bring Myers home to tie the game at five.
• Whitney came through with a sac fly to left field that scored Cyr for his second RBI of the game to put Johns Hopkins back on top.
• The Blue Jays would open up a cushion in the ninth inning when Jimmy Stevens stepped up to the dish with the bases loaded and two outs. Stevens lifted a ball into shallow center field that got past a diving outfielder and down for a hit that would bring in two runs, and an additional run on a throwing error to make it 9-5.
• Matt Savedoff would retire the side in the bottom of the ninth to seal the victory.
