February 19, 2022 | Baseball
Eagles squander 8-0 lead, fall 10-9 in 10 innings.
Austin Peay strung together three straight two-out singles in the ninth to tie the game. In the 10th, the Governors loaded the bases with one out and got the win with a walk to right fielder Gino Avros.
The Eagles ran up an 8-0 lead through the middle of the fifth; scoring in four of five innings and five of six when ahead 9-4. The Governors trimmed the BC lead to a run with four-run innings in both the fifth and sixth innings.
Freshman right-hander Sean Hard (Mahwah, N.J.) was brilliant through four-scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, but ran into trouble in the fifth. Hard finished with a final line of four runs against on three hits, three hit batsmen and a walk. For Austin Peay, righty Drew McIllwain lasted just three innings, while surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks.
BC failed to register a hit after the sixth inning. Sophomore first baseman Joe Vetrano (Shrub Oak, N.Y.) drove in two runs, including one on a double in the sixth; the final Eagle hit of the day. Vetrano was called to the mound with the bases loaded in the 10th and issued the game-deciding walk.
Sebastian Martinez (1-0) through four-hitless innings from the Austin Peay bullpen with four strikeouts and one walk. Junior RHP Max Gieg (0-1) took the loss with one run against on a hit and two walks in one-third of an inning pitched.
