CARLISLE, Pa. - The Dickinson baseball team could not find their offense on Saturday afternoon as the visiting Johns Hopkins Blue Jays swept a pivotal Centennial Conference doubleheader winning by scores of 11-3 and 8-1 at MacPhail Field.

Game One: Blue Jays 11, DEVILS 3

Pitching Decision

W- Jack McRae (2-1) | L- Thomas Marshman (2-3)

Inside the Game

The Blue Jays got things going right from the start against Marshman as a single and two walks led to a sac fly from Isaiah Winikur for the 1-0 lead going to the bottom of the first. It would be "rinse and repeat" for DC in their at-bat as Kenny Tagliareni and Lukas Atsalis walked while Andrew Mazzone singled to load the bags for Cole Hare who worked a walk to make it 1-1. 

It would then be ten straight runs for Johns Hopkins after that. In the fourth, two hits and a two-run error on a Matthew Cooper flyout made it 3-1 before a two-run single in the fifth by Jared Defaria scored two more. Hopkins, after being slowed down in the sixth, put together back-to-back innings with three runs. Three straight singles resulted in a Defaria single to pick up another RBI after a wild pitch from reliever Koll Peichel scored one. Dylan Whitney flew out to score Winikur to finish the scoring in the seventh. Tripp Myers doubled in the eighth to score Cooper who had been hit by a pitch, while Shawn Steuerer singled that scored to add another one, and Dillon Souvignier provided a sacrifice fly to right to plate their final run.

Dickinson made a small push in the ninth with some pinch hitters. Desmond Watkins singled and Kaden Sigmon walked. After advancing on a wild pitch Pat Harrington grounded to second to score Watkins. Sam Glavin then singled to left to bring home Sigmon. Grayson Walker came in to relieve Peichel in the middle of the eighth and did not allow a hit or walk and fanned two hitters.

Game Two: Blue Jays 8, DEVILS 1

Pitching Decision

W- Jack Tarantino (2-1) | L- Ethan Hamilton (3-2)

Inside the Game

For the second game in a row, the Blue Jays were on the board first as Cooper singled to begin things before being driven in three batters later on a sac fly for Steuerer. Hamilton would allow a hit to Winikur, but got Defaria to hit into a fielder's choice to retire the side. Dickinson got a one-out walk for Atsalis in the home-half, unfortunately, a strikeout along with a popout stalled the potential threat. 

Both sides recorded hits in the second with Jack Walters going deep for the Jays, while Tom Gannaway provided a one-out single for the Red and White leaving it at 2-0 through two.

Hopkins added four more during the fourth as Whitney reached on an error and Walters singled which led to a two-run double for Cooper. AJ King and Steuerer would get in on the scoring as well with run-scoring base hits to make it 6-0 after four.

It appeared like the Red and White were going to be able to put something together in the fifth as Matt Torres was hit by a pitch and Chase Weller drew a walk, but then Jack Tarantino set down the next three men to allow no damage. 

The Blue Jays stretched the lead to 8-0 during the sixth with an RBI single from Cooper and a sac fly by Steuerer. Luke Jackson singled with two away in the home-half of the frame, however Gannaway flew out to right to retire the side.  

Dickinson did manage to score in the eighth. Andrew Mazzone doubled to lead things off. Then with one out Jackson singled to center, which led to Gannaway contributing a run-producing groundout to short to allow Mazzone to score capping the scoring at 8-1.
