March 5, 2007 Washington, D.C. - The Georgetown University baseball team snapped a four-game losing streak and picked up their first win on their trip to Florida with a 5-3 victory Monday night over IPFW. With the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh, senior catcher Brandon Davis (Poway, Calif./The Bishop's School) delivered a RBI single to put the Hoyas ahead for good. Davis came up as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning for the Hoyas and hit a hard groundball up the middle that skidded off the shortstop's glove and into centerfield. Junior shortstop Matthew Bouchard (East Greenwich, R.I./Bishop Hendricken) would come around to score and after a throwing error on the tail-end of the play, senior Joseph Graziano (Floral Park, N.Y./Chaminade) would cross home for Georgetown's fifth and final run. Sophomore Jimmy Saris (Great Falls, Va./Langley) picked up his first collegiate win as he threw seven complete innings, striking out eight batters and allowing only one earned run. Freshman Jack Bender (Cranford, N.J./Cranford) pitched a scoreless eighth inning and junior Daniel Kennedy (West Orange, N.J./Regis) threw a scoreless ninth to earn his second save of the season. Bouchard put Georgetown in front, 3-2, in the third inning on a RBI groundout. For the game, he finished with two hits, a run scored, a run batted in and a stolen base. The Hoyas trailed 2-0 in the third inning before freshman second baseman Derek DiGuglielmo (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y./Dobbs Ferry) delivered with a two-run double that tied the game. It was one of two hits in the game for DiGuglielmo.
