Spartans Drop Series Finale to UChicago, 9-4

The Case Western Reserve University baseball team suffered a 9-4 loss to the University of Chicago to conclude a four-game series at Nobby's Ballpark on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland.

The Spartans dropped the final three games in the series, falling to 15-15 overall with a 4-8 University Athletic Association record, while the Maroons improved to 14-13 with a 7-5 conference ledger.

Stats & Standouts

  • CWRU and UChicago each collected 12 hits during Sunday's game.

  • Senior outfielder Matt Trout went one-for-four and drove in three of the team's runs, including two on an eighth-inning home run, his first of the season.

  • Junior shortstop Nate Arterburn went three-for-three to raise his season batting average to .283.

  • Graduate student first baseman Eli Westrick and first-year third baseman James O'Connor each had two hits as well on Sunday.

  • UChicago's David Flanagan earned the win to improve to 1-0, while CWRU sophomore Eric Colgrove suffered the loss to fall to 0-3. Sophomore Charlie Griffith pitched four innings in relief, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks with two strikeouts. Sophomores Jack Millman and Cody Hughes each had scoreless relief outings for CWRU.

Highlights & Scoring Recap

  • UChicago scored four runs in the first two innings of the game to take the early lead on the Spartans.

  • The Spartans loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth and got on the board with a sacrifice fly from Trout.

  • The Maroons got the run back in the top of the fifth and scored four in the top of the seventh to increase their lead to 9-1.

  • Trout connected for a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the deficit to 9-3.

  • A double by junior catcher Carson Walker scored junior designated hitter Tyler Stillson in the ninth, but that would be all the Spartans would get in their final at-bat in the five-run loss.

Spartan Notes

  • First-year James Very registered the first hit of his collegiate career with a pinch-hit single in the bottom of the seventh.

  • Trout drove in seven runs in four games over the weekend and has a team-high nine runs batted in conference play this season. His 20 total RBIs this season are tied for the team lead.

  • The Spartans were 12-for-13 in stolen base attempts during the series. O'Connor stole two more bases in the game and is a perfect 13-for-13 on stolen base attempts this season, 10 of which have come in UAA games.

  • Stillson has reached base in each of his last 14 games, the longest active streak by a Spartan player and tied for the second-longest on the team this season.

  • The Spartans stand at 84-41-1 in UAA games since the start of site play in 2017.

  • CWRU dropped to 22-20-1 all-time against UChicago.

Up Next

The Spartans will now turn their attention to a four-game UAA series against the New York University Violets next weekend in New York. The series is slated to begin on Friday, April 17, with a single game starting at 3:00 p.m.
