Judd tallies 3-for-5 performance in losing effort Wednesday night
Redshirt freshman Collin Shapiro worked two walks on the night to extend his reached base streak to nine games and both senior Ryan Lever and junior Eddy Hart pushed their respective streaks in that category to eight games apiece. Redshirt sophomore Anthony Videtto doubled to hit safely for the fifth straight contest.
Elsewhere in the lineup, freshman Dylan Judd went 3-for-5 with his first collegiate double and his first two RBIs and runs scored as a Minuteman. Hart went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and sophomore Luke Oliphant homered for the first time in his career.
UMass initially took a 4-0 lead, first sparked by a three-run second inning in which Judd poked a two-run single through the right side before Shapiro worked a bases-loaded walk. Then in the third, Lever's two-out single up the middle brought Hart home to swell the visitors' lead to four.
The Islanders were quick to counter with a four-run third but UMass reclaimed the lead with two in its half of the fourth. Senior Logan Greene pegged a sacrifice fly to right field to bring in Judd and four pitches later Videtto doubled to the gap in right center field to drive Shapiro in.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi took a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the fifth and tacked on runs in the seventh (3) and eighth (2) innings, seeing Massachusetts post a two-spot in the eighth on Oliphant's homer as well as a sacrifice fly by Oliphant in the top of the ninth.
For Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Zach Rumfield (2-0) picked up the win out of the bullpen with three innings of no-hit work plus five strikeouts. Freshman Daniel Livnat (0-1) was hooked with the loss for the Minutemen and David Worrell closed it out for the Islanders, picking up his first save of 2019.
UMass opens a three-game series with Kennesaw State on Fri., March 15 at 4 p.m.
