New Orleans Slips Past Baseball, 2-1

Huskies junior RHP Taylor Wright allows no earned runs, takes tough-luck loss to Privateers.



HOUSTON – New Orleans scored an unearned run to tie in the sixth, then took the lead on another in the seventh for a 2-1 victory over HBU in the Southland Conference series opener Friday afternoon at Husky Field.
 
Senior shortstop CJ Jarvis went 2-for-3, his sixth-straight multiple hit game, was hit by a pitch and scored a run for the Huskies (9-9, 1-3 SLC). Junior third baseman Curtis Jones and senior first baseman Bradley Brown also had two hits apiece.
 
Samuel Capielano went 2-for-5 with a double and scored a run, while Jonathan Coco went 2-for-4 and scored for the Privateers (6-12, 1-3). Hezekiah Randolph also had a pair of singles.
 
Junior Taylor Wright (2-3) took the loss for HBU, despite allowing only two unearned runs, eight hits, five strikeouts and no walks in 7.1 innings. Alex Smith (1-3) earned the win for UNO, giving up a run on eight hits, striking out two and walking one in seven innings. Seth Laigast notched his second save of the year, working the final 1.2 innings.
 
The Huskies took the lead in the bottom of the fourth, when Jarvis led off with a single, went to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior second baseman Josh Martinez and third on an infield single by Jones. After Jones was picked off, Jarvis scored on a wild pitch.
 
Capielano led off the sixth by smoking a ground ball to the hole at short, Jarvis made a diving stop, but Capielano just beat the throw for an infield single. Zach Liberto moved him over with a bunt, then UNO tied it when Randolph hit a hard grounder to second, but the Huskies were unable to make the play.
 
In the seventh, Coco also led off with an infield single after Martinez fielded a grounder up the middle and couldn't make the throw in time. Trevor McCarthy struck out on a bunt attempt, but Coco was able to take second anyway on a wild pitch. Chaz Boyer hit a chopper to first that should've ended the inning, but it bounced off Brown, allowing Coco to plate the go-ahead score.
 
Junior rightfielder Thomas Clay led off the eighth with a single, then Jarvis was hit by a pitch, but Martinez popped out on an attempted slash play, Jones popped up to shallow left, and Brown popped up to third to end the threat.
 
The series concludes with a doubleheader Saturday at 11 a.m.
