Baseball Falls to Emory 5-2 in Series Finale

The Case Western Reserve University closed out its four-game series with Emory University with a 5-2 loss to the Eagles at Nobby's Ballpark in Cleveland on Sunday.

The loss came after the Spartans clinched the series on Saturday, winning three games out of the four. CWRU, which received votes in the latest D3baseball.com Top-25, dropped to 17-9 overall and is in second place in the University Athletic Association standings with a 6-2 league record, one game behind the University of Chicago. Emory, which also received votes in the poll, improved to 18-10 with a 4-4 conference mark.

With two outs in the bottom of the first, sophomore first baseman Tyler Stillson and graduate student second baseman Franco Alonso singled on back-to-back pitches, and graduate student designated hitter Dane Camphausen and senior right fielder Jay Smith each drew walks to force across the first run of the game. Emory evened the score with a run in the top of the fourth, but the Spartans responded immediately in the bottom of the inning, regaining the lead on a run-scoring single up the middle by senior center fielder Nick Harms.

The Spartans remained ahead until the top of the sixth when the Eagles struck for three runs to take their first lead of the game, 4-2. Emory added another run in the top of the eighth to increase their lead to three runs. The first two base runners reached in the bottom of the ninth for the Spartans, but CWRU would be unable to score a run as Emory held on for the win.

Graduate student third baseman Zack Carinci finished with two of the Spartans' seven hits, including a double and a run scored. Harms, Stillson, Alonso, Smith, and first-year Mason Nemec each had hits for CWRU in the game as well.

CWRU first-year right-handed reliever Oliver Miller suffered the loss in the game, dropping to 2-1 on the season. Emory's JT Rattigan earned the win to improve to 2-1 while Bennett Speicher pitched the final three and two-thirds innings without allowing a run to earn his seventh save of the year.

The Spartans will be back on the road next weekend with another key UAA series at the University of Chicago. The four-game set is scheduled to begin with a single game at 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday, April 11.

Spartan Notes

  • The Spartans used seven different pitchers in Sunday's game. Sophomore starter Quinn Saunders (two innings), junior Austin McGowan (one inning), first-year Ayush Shetty (0.1 innings), and first-year Anton Sabo (1.1 innings) each recorded a scoreless outing. CWRU pitching tallied a 2.83 ERA over the four-game series and held Emory to a .233 batting average.

  • CWRU now stands at 28-39 all-time against Emory. Sunday's loss ended a stretch of five-straight Spartan wins against the Eagles and CWRU has won seven of its last nine matchups against Emory.

  • Harms' fourth-inning single extended his hitting streak to 23 games, the longest streak this season by a CWRU hitter.

  • Graduate student catcher Jack Anderson is one run shy of the program's career record. His 194 career runs rank second all-time behind former Spartan Matt Keen (2010-13). Anderson is also four total bases away from Chad Mullins' (2008-11) program record of 393 career total bases.
