Axcess Baseball","og_description":"It was a pitcher\u2019s duel at Southampton High School on Thursday evening, as the Sag Harbor Whalers defeated the Southampton Breakers 2-0 on the road. Sag Harbor advances to 11-9 on the season, while Southampton falls to 5-14-1.\u00a0 Nick Murray of the University of Cincinnati got the start on the mound for Sag Harbor. Murray received the victory as he shutout the Breakers through seven innings, giving up three hits and three walks, striking out seven. On the losing end for Southampton was Southpaw Cole Humes of Lehigh, who went seven and a third, giving up two runs, on five hits, with three strikeouts and a walk. Both teams threatened in the first inning but failed to score. Sag Harbor second baseman Matt Woods (Bryant) singled with two outs in the top of the first, and advanced to second after an infield single from Ramon Jimenez of Boston College. Southampton\u2019s Humes induced a groundball out to keep the Whalers off of the board in the first frame.\u00a0 Just like Humes, Murray retired the first two batters he faced in the first inning. Southampton Shortstop Chris Wasson of LIU singled up the middle with two away to keep the inning alive. On the very next pitch, first baseman Robbie Holmes (Monmouth) singled up the first base line, advancing Wasson to third. With two away, and runners on the corners, Murray struck out Johnny Hipsman (Richmond) to end the first inning, keeping the game scoreless.\u00a0 Southampton\u2019s Cole Humes went on to retire nine straight batters in the second, third, and fourth innings. His counterpart Murray struggled a bit, but didn\u2019t give up any runs. Murray allowed three base runners during that three inning span, two walks and a hit by pitch, but no baserunner made it past second base. Humes\u2019 streak of retired batters would be snapped at nine, as Sag Harbor Shortstop Brock Franks of Northwest Florida State double off of the base of the right center wall. He advanced to third on a fly ball to deep center, but a strikeout, and a chopper to second got the Breakers through the fifth inning, still tied with the Whalers at zero.\u00a0 Both starters worked through seven scoreless innings. Whalers Center fielder Andrew Bates (South Alabama) lead off the top of the eighth with a walk, and was bunted to second by Brendan Dowd (NYIT). Tommy Courtney (Penn) followed it up with a single into the 5-6 hole, bringing Bates to third, and the throw home by Breakers\u2019 Left fielder Michael Ferrara (UNC Greensboro) sailed over the backstop, scoring Bates, and advancing Courtney to third. River Town then singled in Courtney for the second run of the game, ending Humes\u2019 outing, with Sag Harbor up 2-0 in the top of the eighth. LIU\u2019s Michael Lazos entered the game in relief for Southampton, with one out. He struck out the first batter he faced on three pitches, and during the next at bat, Town was caught stealing at third by Breakers Catcher Reed Babin (LSU Eunice). Leading 2-0 heading into the bottom of the eighth, Sag Harbor sent Miller Freeman (Georgetown) to the mound. He pitched a scoreless eighth inning, walking one batter. Lazos threw a scoreless top of the ninth for Southampton, so the Breakers were down 2-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth. The Whalers sent another Cincinnati right hander to the mound for the save, Nathan Moore. Moore retired the first two batters of the inning, but gave up a two out single to John Raucci (St Joes) and a walk to leadoff man Tony Zambito of Southern Connecticut State. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, tying run on first, and potential winning run on second, Moore buckled down and induced a fly ball out to second base to end the game, sealing the 2-0 victory for the Sag Harbor Whalers, breaking their five game losing streak. The @SagHbrWhalers defeated the @SH_Breakers 2-0 tonight behind 7 shutout innings from starter Nick Murray. The Cincinnati right hander picked up 7 K\u2019s on his way to his first victory of the season.
