MERION STATION, Pa. – The Saint Joseph's baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader on Sunday, falling to Saint Louis in a pair of games at Smithson Field.
 
GAME 1: Saint Louis 12, Saint Joseph's 10
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Saint Joseph's (25-19 overall, 9-8 Atlantic 10) came out of the gates swinging, sending 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first.  Brett Callahan led off with a single before one-out walks to Nate Thomas and Andrew Cossetti loaded the bases for Brendan Hueth; Hueth hit a double to left that plated two and got the Hawks on the board.
 
• Two batters later, Brandon Drapeau singled home a pair to double the lead.  Luca Trigiani, Liam Bendo, and Callahan all followed with singles to push the lead to 6-0 after an inning.
 
• Thomas then led off the second with a single and came around to score on a hit by Tim Cavanaugh to make it 7-0.
 
• The Billikens scored once in the fourth before tying the game with a six-spot of their own in the sixth.  The tie would be short-lived, however, as the Hawks scored three in the bottom of the inning when Cavanaugh was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Trigiani ripped a two-run single to left.
 
• The visitors scored twice to make it a one-run game heading to the ninth, where they tallied three more to complete the comeback.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Logan Schmitt tossed two shutout innings of relief to earn the win, while Cameron Pferrer retired the only two batters he faced for the save.  Ryan Devine was charged with the loss.
 
• Five Hawks notched multiple hits in the game, with Callahan's 4-for-5 performance leading the way.  The Hawks also had three players with two runs scored and four with two driven in.
 
GAME 2: Saint Louis 4, Saint Joseph's 1 (F/8)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Saint Louis (25-19 overall, 11-6 Atlantic 10) took the lead on a first-inning wild pitch and doubled it on a double in the fourth inning.
 
• The lead doubled again in the top of the sixth on a two-run double by Matt Turino.
 
• The Hawks threatened in the sixth before cashing in in the eighth as Cavanaugh singled home Hueth.
 
• The game was called at the end of eight innings due to travel considerations.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Trevor Harris kept the Hawks off the scoreboard for five and two-thirds innings, allowing four hits, to earn the win.  Luke Smith allowed a run on three hits in three innings to take the loss.
 
• Cavanaugh was the lone Hawk with multiple hits in the game, while Turino was involved in all four runs for the Billikens.
 
• Cossetti saw his program-record streak of consecutive games reaching base end at 48; he reached base in the first 43 games of the season before failing to reach in Sunday's second contest.
 
UP NEXT
The Hawks will host Atlantic 10-leading Davidson for a three-game set at Smithson Field beginning on Thursday.  The Hawks will honor their graduating seniors in the annual Senior Day ceremony on Saturday.
