Pirates Fall at TCU, 5-1, in Game One
4/12/2019 7:35:00 PM | Baseball
FORT WORTH, TEXAS – The Seton Hall baseball team dropped a pitchers' duel at No. 19 TCU in a seven-inning game one of a doubleheader, 5-1, on Friday. Junior Ricky DeVito (Staten Island, N.Y.) allowed only one run over the game's first five innings until TCU broke the game open late.
Leading 1-0, the Horned Frogs struck for four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to provide all the necessary insurance.
DeVito allowed four runs over 5.1 innings pitched with five strikeouts.
The Hall's offense was only able to muster a pair of hits off TCU starter Nick Lodolo. Casey Dana (Montgomery, N.Y.) and Tyler Shedler-McAvoy (Allendale, N.J.) had singles for The Hall. Freshman Steve Grober (Hillsborough, N.J.) drove in the Pirates' lone run with a sacrifice fly.
What Happened:
DeVito and Lodolo were locked in a pitchers' duel until the Horned Frogs finally broke through in the bottom of the fourth inning. TCU's Johnny Rizer singled, stole second and tagged up and advanced to third on a fly ball. After a walk, the Horned Frogs attempted a double-steal, which was successful, resulting in the game's first run.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, TCU struck for four runs on five hits.
The Pirates mounted a rally in the top of the seventh, putting runners on the corners with only one out. Grober's sacrifice fly drove in Christian Del Castillo (Miami, Fla.) with The Hall's lone run.
