Tysons, Va. -- Junior Daniel Frontera (Red Bank, N.J.) stuck out eight batters in six scoreless innings while only allowing two hits and sophomore Michael Gillen (Rochelle Park, N.J.) struck out one while allowing three hits in 1.1 innings pitched as the Pirates drop the BIG EAST opener to Georgetown, 3-0. Â
Freshman Aiden Robbins (Yardley, Pa.) went 1-for-3 with a single as he picked up his 12th hit in his last ten games.
How It Happened
It was a scoreless game heading into the seventh inning until Georgetown was able to score three runs in the bottom half of the inning. Two runs came from a two RBI single and a double in the gap made it a 3-0 game.
Despite strong outings from the Pirates pitching, the offense was not able to capitalize leaving ten runners left on base. Senior Max Viera (Greenwood Lake, N.Y.) went 1-for-4 to extend his hit streak to four games as the Pirates finished with six hits.
