Jem Tosses A Gem: Sisco Whiffs 12 In Complete-Game Victory To Highlight Stellar Pitching In Sweep of Bridgeport

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – The Thomas Jefferson University baseball team (8-7) took both games of a doubleheader at Bridgeport on Sunday, allowing just three runs over the two contests.
 
GAME ONE – W, 7-1
The two sides were scoreless into the fifth inning when the Rams broke through for a pair of runs. Dylan Rees and Arturo Figueroa hit back-to-back RBI singles to put Jefferson ahead 2-0. The Purple Knights got one back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI base hit.
 
Nursing a one-run lead in the seventh, the Rams came through with five runs to provide insurance. Figueroa and Zack Austin both drew bases-loaded walks and Vince Barone cleared the bases with a three-run double down the left field line. Jem Sisco then struck out the side in the bottom of the seventh to finish off the complete-game gem.

Bridgeport put the tying run on in both the fourth and fifth innings but Patrick Hohlfeld got out of both frames unscathed. Jefferson added another run in the seventh on a two-out RBI double by Arturo Figueroa. In the bottom of the seventh, the Purple Knights put the first two men on and scored one to make it 4-2.
