Emory Comeback Falls Short in 7-5 Extra-Inning Loss to Case; Will Play Brandeis at 1:00 PM on Sunday

Box Score

The Emory University baseball team battled back from a 4-0 deficit to force extra innings against Case Western Reserve University, but a pair of runs in the 10th inning from the Spartans were enough to defeat the Eagles 7-5 at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Tournament.

Trailing by two, 5-3, heading into the bottom of the eighth, a one out double for pinch hitter Scott Schwartz put the game-tying runners in scoring position with nobody out for freshman catcher J.B. Smith.  Smith would double to straight away centerfield to tie the game at five runs apiece, and eventually send the game into extra innings.

The Eagles, however, would be unable to complete the comeback, as senior Zeb Heidt was charged with two runs in the 10th inning and the loss in the contest, falling to 1-1 on the season.

Emory players hit three solo home runs during the contest, including one from junior Patrick Riebsame, who matched the tournament record with three home runs during the week.  Sophomore Jonathan Reilly and junior Andrew Cohn would hit their first and second home runs of the season, respectively, during the contest as well.

Senior Brian Cournoyer pitched well in relief for the Eagles, going four and a third scoreless innings in relief of freshman starter Caleb Long.  Cournoyer lowered his season ERA to 1.90 in 23.2 innings of work this season.  Case reliever Zach Fry would earn the win, improving to 2-1 on the season.

The loss drops Emory to 9-8 on the season, including a 2-3 mark in UAA play, while Case improved to 5-6 overall and 3-1 in conference games.

Emory will be back in action tomorrow for the final day of the UAA Tournament, playing a 1:00 PM game against Brandeis University.
