Decker-Jacoby shines, but WashU rallies against bullpen for 9-6 win

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University baseball senior pitcher Sean Decker-Jacoby (Los Angeles, Calif./Vistimar) contained visiting Washington University through eight innings today in a University Athletic Association contest, but the Bears broke through against the bullpen in the ninth to defeat the Judges, 9-6, on Yetten Field in Waltham.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis: 5-26, 0-12 UAA.
  • Washington U: 23-12-1, 7-4-1 UAA.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • WashU 1B Henry Mauterer scored the Bears' first two runs.
  • In the first inning, he singled, stole second, and scored when a pick-off attempt went awry.
  • In the fourth, he was hit by a pitch, moved to third on a double and scored on a grounder to shortstop.
  • Decker-Jacoby held the visitors in check, giving Brandeis a chance to get back in the game, which they did in the bottom of the sixth.
  • Brandeis sent 11 hitters to the plate and scored six times on six hits. The Judges tied the game on a two-run home run to right field by graduate student RF Jake Freed (Vernon Hills, Ill./Stevenson).
  • The next three Brandeis hitters reached base, with graduate student 3B Brian King (Palos Verde, Calif./Palos Verde) doubling to left to give the Judges the 3-2 lead. Three batters later, with the bases loaded again, first-year 2B Dylan Walsh (Arlington, Mass./Arlington) drew a walk to make it 4-2.
  • Sophomore Alex Kim (Basking Ridge, N.J./Seton Hall Prep)  and first-year Patrick Schultz (Milton, Mass./Roxbury Latin) followed with a single and a sacrifice fly to give the hosts a 6-2 lead.
  • WashU got one run back in the eighth, loading the bases on a hit and two walks. They scored on a wild pitch, but Decker-Jacoby got a call third struck to get out of the inning without further damage.
  • In the ninth, WashU got to the Brandeis bullpen. They again loaded the bases without a hit, drawing two more walks and a hit batter. A two-run double by shortstop Shane Pellegrino got them within 6-5. Another walk to Mauterer loaded the bases again, and the visitors took the lead on a two-run double by Clayton Miller and extended it to 9-6 on a two-run single by centerfielder Brandon Buday.
  • Miller struck out the side in the ninth to secure the win and the series sweep for WashU.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Decker-Jacoby was terrific through eight innings for Brandeis. He allowed six hits and three runs (two earned). He walked three and struck out a career-high 13, tied for the most by a Brandeis pitcher since 2004.
  • Graduate student Eddie Zanor (Branford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) walked two and hit a batter in one-third of an inning, while first-year Kyle Murray (West Roxbury, Mass./Boston Latin) was saddled with the loss to fall to 0-2 after giving up the last three runs of the game in 0.2 innings.
  • Zanor had two hits at the plate, as did first-year RF Henry Aronwald (Rye Brook, N.Y./Trinity Pawling), who had a triple.
