SANFORD, Fla. -- The Brandeis University baseball team dropped
its University Athletic Association (UAA) opener today, 3-1, to the
Emory University Eagles. The contest was played at Sanford Memorial
Stadium in Sanford, Fla.
Brandeis (1-1) fell behind in the first inning when Emory RF Brian
Langbord hit a solo home run of senior starter Tim Dunphy
(Cambridge, Mass.). The Judges answered in the bottom of the inning
with an unearned run scored by sophomore CF Chuck Sheehan
(Lexington, Mass.). Sheehan reached on a dropped third strike,
moved to second on a single by senior SS Zach Golden (Milton,
Mass.) and scored on an Eagle error.
Unfortunately, that was the only offense Brandeis could muster
against Emory (13-1) starter Jason Glushon, who allowed just four
hits on the day while striking out 10. The Eagles scored the
game-winning run in the fourth inning with a solo home run by
catcher Griffin Baum and added an insurance run in the seventh on
an RBI single by CF and leadoff hitter David Hissey.
Dunphy ended up going seven innings for the Judges, allowing eight
hits and three earned runs. He walked three and struck out two. No
Brandeis hitter had more than one hit.
The Judges are next in action against Case Western Reserve
University tomorrow at 10 a.m.
