SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – After averaging 8.8 runs per game over the prior six contests, the Seton Hall baseball team was limited to just four hits and was shut out by Georgetown, 4-0, in game one of a doubleheader on Saturday.

Seton Hall starter Daniel Frontera (Red Bank, N.J.) had a solid outing, allowing only two earned runs over four innings, but single runs in the first three innings proved to be the difference.

Freshman Ryan Reich (Selinsgrove, Pa.) was dominant, tossing three innings of hitless relief with four strikeouts and only one walk.

THE GAME:
Georgetown loaded the bases with no outs to start the game, but Frontera did a fantastic job of limiting the damage to just one run, which was scored on a double play groundout. A one-out RBI triple doomed the Pirates in the second inning, and Georgetown made it 3-0 on a sacrifice fly in the top of the third.

The Pirates appeared poised to bounce back in the bottom of the third, loading the bases with just one out, but a strikeout and groundout ended the threat and stranded three Pirates on base. The Hall never got another runner into scoring position for the rest of the game.

THE NUMBERS:

Georgetown out-hit the Pirates, 7-to-4.
Seton Hall committed one error, while the Hoyas were errorless.
The Pirates left seven runners on base, and Georgetown stranded six.

THE NOTES:

Seton Hall falls to 14-14 overall and 1-1 in BIG EAST play, while Georgetown improves to 17-14 overall and 3-2 in the conference.
