Dukes Fall to Elon in Pitchers' Duel
4/2/2017 4:43:00 PM | Baseball
ELON, N.C. – James Madison was shut out for the first time this season in a 3-0 loss to Elon in the finale of a Colonial Athletic Association baseball series.
The Phoenix completed the series sweep to improve to 15-13 on the year and 5-1 in CAA play. The Dukes were swept for the first time since April 8-10 at Towson.
Elon's Kyle Brnovich (2-2) went the distance in the pitchers' duel, throwing a shutout with six strikeouts and two walks, and limiting the Dukes to two base hits.
Junior right-handed pitcher Josh Silvestri had one of his best outings of the year, throwing six scoreless innings with three strikeouts, while allowing just one hit.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the eighth inning, when Ryne Ogren hit a solo home run over the right field fence. The Phoenix added two more runs on RBI hits by Kyle Jackson and Tyler Stanley.
Juniors Jack Hamner and Mike Sciorra collected singles for the Dukes, while senior Ky Parrott walked twice and added a sacrifice bunt.
QUOTING COACH IKENBERRY
"I was proud of how we pitched and played defense today. Josh Silvestri did a great job of pitching out of jams, but Brnovich did a great job for them. We had opportunities, but just couldn't get the hit that we needed."
UP NEXT
The Dukes return to Eagle Field at Veterans Memorial Park for a midweek contest against George Mason on Wednesday, April 5 at 6 p.m. Admission to all regular-season home games is free.
