Ryan Hogan’s grand slam highlights lopsided affair at The Jack
The St. John's baseball team jumped out to a four-run led in the first inning and never looked back, taking down Sacred Heart, 16-4, on Saturday at Jack Kaiser Stadium to remain undefeated on the season.
Ryan Hogan provided the fireworks on a brisk afternoon in Queens, launching a grand slam to right field in the third inning. The home run was Hogan's first of the season and the fourth of his St. John's career.
After going 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs in Friday's series opener, David Williams got a little more efficient in game two, going 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.
Jake Lazzaro, who had four three-hit games during a shortened freshman season in 2020, logged his first three-hit outing of the year, going 3-for-5 with two walks and three runs scored.
Justin Folz singled, walked twice, was hit by a pitch and scored three times.
A day after going 2-for-3, Brandon Miller drove in a pair of runs.
Carolos Hidalgo went 3-for-6 with two RBIs in his first collegiate start while Mitchell Henshaw singled and drove in a run.
Carson Bartels singled, walked and scored a run while Nick Cirelli added a double in the eighth. The Sacramento City College transfer now has two extra-base hits in three career Division I at-bats.
Ian Murphy impressed once again as he picked up his second win in as many tries this season for the Johnnies. The redshirt sophomore scattered three hits over 5.0 innings of work and allowed only one unearned run to cross the plate. He struck out five and walked four, throwing 59 of his 95 pitches for strikes.
Geoff Mosseau allowed one earned run and struck out five in two innings of relief. Josh Lajoie surrendered just one walk in two scoreless frames to close the contest.
After Murphy worked a scoreless top of the first, the Red Storm (5-0) batted around and plated four runs in the home half of the frame. With runners on first and third and two outs following a Lazzaro leadoff double and a Folz hit-by-pitch, the Red Storm rattled off four straight RBI base knocks off the bats of Williams, Miller, Henshaw and Hidalgo. On all four singles, the runner from first to third.
Following a scoreless second, St. John's doubled its lead with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the third. With two down in the inning, Hidalgo and Bartels singled before Lazzaro walked to load the bases for Hogan. The redshirt senior smacked a ball to right field that sailed into the pine trees above the visitors' bullpen, pushing the St. John's lead to 8-0. The grand slam was the first by a St. John's player since Ryan Markey hit one against Villanova on April 19, 2019.
A Miller RBI groundball to the right side plated the Red Storm's ninth run of the afternoon in the fourth before Sacred Heart pushed across an unearned run in the top of the fifth. The Red Storm responded by adding on four more in the home half, as Williams ripped a bases-loaded, two-run double down the left field line before two more runs scored on a Sacred Heart fielding error.
Down 13-1, Sacred Heart (1-4) pushed across three runs, two of which were unearned, in the top of the seventh.
St. John's added an unearned run in the seventh before Hidalgo logged an RBI single and Nick Schwartz walked in a run in eighth.
The Red Storm and the Pioneers will wrap their series with a Sunday doubleheader beginning at noon. An audio broadcast of both games will be available on RedStormSports.com.
