Tysons, Va. - Ryan Reich (Sellinsgrove, Pa.) threw seven no-hit innings and struck out a career-high 13 batters before Anthony Ely (Glenside, Pa.) retired six of the final eight batters that sealed Seton Hall's 1-0, one-hit victory over Georgetown in game two of the Pirates' BIG EAST opening series on Saturday.

Pat D'Amico (Lynnfield, Mass.) went 2-for-4 and drove in the game's lone run on an RBI double that scored Andrew Bianco (Kings Park, N.Y.). Ehly had three strikeouts in two innings of work for the Pirates (17-13) as he registered his first career save.

Reich's 13 strikeouts are the most in a single game for a Seton Hall pitcher since Tyler Burnham struck out 14 batters in his no-hitter against Georgetown on May 3, 2021.

How It Happened

Reich was perfect through the first five innings of the game where he recorded eight strikeouts, tallying at least one strikeout in each inning. Reich was getting stronger as the game wore on and especially so in the fifth inning where he struck out the side in order.

The Pirates put on just three baserunners in the game's first five innings before Bianco reached on an infield error with one out. The next batter was D'Amico and he sent a double to the center field wall that plated Bianco from first and gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead. Seton Hall drew back-to-back walks in the inning but two quick outs ended the threat.

After Reich struck out the first two batters of the sixth inning, he allowed his first walk of the ballgame before striking out the side again. D'Amico picked up his second hit of the game in the seventh but he was left stranded, keeping the score at 1-0 Pirates.

Ehly came out of the bullpen in the bottom of the eighth inning and he struck out the first batter he faced before ultimately working out of trouble. Seton Hall went down in order in the ninth inning but Ehly retired the side and picked up two strikeouts that sealed the win and tied up the series at 1-1.

Up Next

The Pirates and Hoyas will play on Sunday at 2 p.m. and the winner will clinch a critical BIG EAST series.
