#5 Blue Jays Run it Up to Defeat Swarthmore, 18-6

Team Improves to 25-3 On the Season

  • Score: #5 Johns Hopkins- 18, Swarthmore- 6
  • Records: JHU (25-3, 6-1), Swarthmore (14-13, 3-4)
  • Pitching Decision: W: Matt Savedoff (5-0), L: Matteo Sollecito (2-2)
  • The Short Story: The bats were alive early and often for Johns Hopkins as they finished with 15 hits to take an insurmountable lead for the Garnet and finish with an 18-6 win to move to 25-3 on the season.
How It Happened
  • Isaiah Winikur set the table with a leadoff single in the bottom of the first. A couple batters later, Matthew Cooper stepped up to the dish and put the Blue Jays on the board, smacking a ball to opposite field over the fence to give JHU a 2-0 lead. It was Cooper's 12th homer of the season to match his total from last year.
  • Sam Frank joined the party the next inning when he sent a no-doubter out of the park on a 2-0 pitch to make the lead three. The home run was Frank's fourth of the season and his second in the past week.
  • After getting blanked in the third inning, JHU would put the game out of reach early in the next couple of innings. Between the fourth and fifth inning, the Blue Jays brought 11 runs across the plate and did so with eight hits. Seven different Blue Jays picked up RBI's during this stretch to open an 11-0 lead.
  • Winikur and Dillon Souvignier both doubled in runs in the bottom of the six to continue the offensive onslaught. Steuerer tacked on another one with a sacrifice fly to center field to bring in Cooper. The Blue Jays final run would be pushed across in the next inning when Lukas Geer dug in. Geer, as a pinch hitter, smoked his second home run of the season to right field to get JHU's run total to 18.
  • Swarthmore would add six runs in the final few innings to avoid the shutout, but it was far from enough to overcome the Blue Jays, who ran away with an 18-6 win, to remain on top of the Centennial.
Inside the Box Score
  • Cooper continues to climb the ranks in the career home run chart as his long ball today tied him for sixth all-time with Matt Menz (1990-93) with 24. He now has homered six times in the last eight games he's played in.
  • Matt Savedoff earned his fifth win, which ties him for the team lead, throwing six one-run innings. He picked up a career-high eight strikeouts in the win, after tying his career-high last time out.
  • 18 runs were the fourth highest run total produced by JHU this season. It was the ninth time this season that the Blue Jays have scored 10 or more runs.
Up Next
  • The Blue Jays will complete the regular season series with the Garnet on Friday when they travel to Swarthmore for a 3:30 pm start.
