Baseball Falls 7-0 Against No. 22/28 Johns Hopkins

Freshman Bristow matches career-high with seven strikeouts

BALTIMORE (March 7, 2020) - The Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team fell 7-0 at the hands of Johns Hopkins University Saturday on the road as they faced off against their third ranked team in the last seven games. 

Freshman Leo Bristow (0-2) got the start on the mound and matched his season high with seven strikeouts but was saddled with the loss after allowing four runs on six hits in 4.2 innings of action. 

It is the first time this season the Ducks have lost a game decided either by one run or decided in extra innings. 

The Blue Jays got stellar pitching performances from both their starter Peter Schaefer (2-0) and reliever Jonah Offman to mover to 6-3 overall on the season. Schaefer allowed just two hits in 5.0 innings of shutout baseball while Offman took over in the sixth and struck out nine of the 13 batters he faced on the evening as he closed the contest to earn the save. 

Junior Nate Zuckerman registered a hit to extend his hitting streak to six games while sophomore Tom James was unable to produce a hit for the first time this season as his hitting streak is halted at nine games. 

In his first action of the 2020 season, sophomore Ryan Wall registered a hit while coming off the bench and was the lone Stevens player to produce a hit against Offman in the contest. 

Sutton Dole was the other Stevens player to produce a hit in the loss as he hit an infield single in the fifth for his seventh hit of the season. 

JHU stated the scoring with an RBI ground-rule double from Chris Festa in the third inning to go up 1-0. 

The big blow from the Blue Jays came in the fifth as Austin Sacks ripped a two-RBI single to right and was subsequently brought home on an RBI single by James Ingram. 

The Blue Jays tacked on another run in the sixth on an RBI single and produced two more in the eighth after Matt Ritchie tripled to right-center field. 

Inside the Numbers 

  • Freshman Mark DeCicco made his collegiate debut on the hill and retired four of the three batters he faced in the inning with a strikeout. 
  • Tyler Armstrong and Anthony Pron were both effective in relief, combining to toss 1.0 full inning and not allow a run or a hit and striking out two. 
  • It is the third time this season Stevens has been held without an extra base hit in a game. 
  • A.J. Falconite and Gannon Kenney-McGowan were the only other Stevens players to reach base as they both drew a walk in the contest. 
  • Mike Eberle led the way for the Blue Jays going 3 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored. 
  • From the Dugout (Head Coach Kristaps Aldins) 
  • "We saw some good signs from our bullpen today. Mark DeCicco had an excellent outing. As did Anthony Pron, who has been great for us all year. Tyler Armstrong also fared well in his opportunity." 
  • "Ryan Wall, in his pinch hit at-bat in the ninth, did a great job of getting on-base with a clean single." 
  • "We have a chance to win the week with a victory vs. New Paltz. So tomorrow is shaping up to be a big one for our ballclub."
