Judges face Emory in marathon day, drop two heartbreakers

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis and Emory University baseball teams played for seven hours across two games and 21 innings of action, with the Eagles prevailing twice over the Judges – 10-9 in 14 innings in the opener, and 3-1 in seven in the nightcap ended by the University Athletic Association's curfew rule.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis: 10-18, 2-8 UAA.
  • Emory: 20-10, 6-4 UAA.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 2 (Emory 3, Brandeis 1, 7 innings)
  • Game two was a pitcher's duel between Brandeis sophomore Andrew Tringe (Montpelier, Vt./Montpelier) and Emory's Ryan Reynolds.
  • The pair traded zeroes through the first five-and-a-half innings, with Tringe allowing just two hits and two walks, striking out seven across six innings. He ended up with a no-decision, leaving after six innings having thrown 109 pitches, 69 for strikes.
  • Reynolds went the distance to improve to 3-4 on the season. He scattered six hits, fanning five without walking a batter but hitting one.
  • Brandeis finally broke the scoreless deadlock in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, sophomore CF Connor Crowley (Guilford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) tripled to center field. First-year 3B Ben Kuja (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) followed with a single past the drawn-in infield to give Brandeis a 1-0 lead. Reynolds avoided further damage by inducing an inning-ending double play.
  • With Tringe out of the game and rain starting to fall in the seventh, the Eagles took advantage of wildness from the Brandeis bullpen. The Judges issued four walks in the inning.
  • A wild pitch by first-year Nick Hodgkins (Brooklyn, N.Y./Berkley Carroll School) with the bases loaded brought home Brok Liu with the tying run. Two batters later, Blake Dincman delivered the game-winning hit, a double to left field that made it 3-1, as the Judges threw a runner out on the bases to end the frame.
  • Reynolds finished his complete game by working around a two-out hit batter. The game was called after seven innings due to the UAA's curfew that doesn't allow a new inning to start after 10 p.m.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 1 (Emory 10, Brandeis 9, 14 innings)
  • The opener was a marathon, with Brandeis putting together a couple of big innings and Emory scoring across several to force the extra frames.
  • The Eagles opened the scoring with three runs in the second thanks to a Jack Halloran solo home run, an RBI groundout by Liu and a single to center by Zach Hanson.
  • Brandeis answered with a five-spot in the bottom of the inning. The big hit was a two-run single by Crowley, while first-years Keith Lee (Milford, Mass./Milford) and Danny Tambascia (Newton, Mass./Newton North) also drove in runs.
  • Emory chipped away at the Brandeis lead, scoring single runs in each of the next four frames to take a 7-5 lead into the seventh. Dincman had RBIs in the third and fifth for the Eagles.
  • Brandeis went back on top in the bottom of the seventh, with Kuja doubling home a run to make it 7-6 and grad student Eddie Zanor (Branford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) following with a two-run home run. It was his team-leading fourth of the campaign.
  • Emory recaptured the lead in the top of the ninth on an RBI singles by Halloran and a groundout by Dincman.
  • The Judges were able to manufacture a run in the bottom of the inning when Kuja and Zanor led of with singles. Sophomore RF Henry Aronwald (Rye Brook, N.Y./Trinity Pawling) got them into scoring position with a grounder between the mound and first base, while Freed's grounder to short got the tying run home. Emory's Bennett Speicher stranded the winning run in scoring position with a strikeout, forcing extra innings.
  • After a scoreless 10th, the Judges had a golden chance to win it in the 11th. Kuja walked and was bunted to second, but he got picked off by Speicher for the second out, just before Aronwald doubled to right field.
  • Emory elected to intentionally walk Jake Freed (Vernon Hills, Ill./Stevenson) to get to Tambascia, who scorched a ball that looked ticketed to get through and score the winning run, but hit off the umpire's leg forcing a dead ball. With the bases loaded and two out, Dylan Walsh (Arlington, Mass./Arlington) grounded to no-man's-land between the pitcher and first base, but was just beaten to the bag by Speicher.
  • After harmless 12th and 13th innings, the Eagles got a leadoff single by Aidan Conley. He stole second on a strikeout, but Halloran drew a walk. The two took off on a double steal, and while Halloran was chased down by the Brandeis defense, Conley charged home from second with the winning run, as a throw home was off the mark.
  • Emory's Paul Fine retired the side in order in the 14th to earn his first save in relief of Speicher, who threw six innings of relief, allowing six hits and just one earned run, striking out six and walking two to improve to 2-0.
  • Brandeis's Cooper Gavin (Beverly, Mass./Beverly) was the tough-luck loser, falling to 1-3, despite allowing just one hit and one run in three innings of work. He struck out three and walked two.
UP NEXT
  • The Judges and Eagles are scheduled to play one game tomorrow at noon, but weather conditions will likely push the teams to meet twice at Yetten Field in Waltham.
