Georgetown Hoyas
Baseball is Georgetown's oldest sport, with the first recorded game taking place in 1866, and the team formally organized and sanctioned in 1870. The Hoyas have seen little national success, with no appearances in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship since the event was established in 1947. The team was once known as the Stonewalls, and is one possible source of the Hoya Saxa cheer famous among all Georgetown sports teams. The Hoyas play their home games at Shirley Povich Field, a 1,500 seat stadium located in Bethesda, Maryland and named for "Washington Post" sports columnist Shirley Povich. The stadium was built in 2000. The Hoyas also utilize three lighted batting cages and two bullpen areas located on campus above Yates Field House, and adjacent to Kehoe Field.

Based on tiebreaking criteria, Georgetown was seeded first in the 2013 Big East Tournament, its first No. 1 seed in the tournament since 2008. The high seed gave the Hoyas a double bye, and they did not begin play until the quarterfinals, in which they met ninth-seeded Cincinnati, which had upset eighth-seeded Providence the day before to advance to meet Georgetown. The Hoyas pulled ahead to a 24-8 lead in the first half before the Bearcats began a comeback, outscoring Georgetown 16-5 during the remainder of the half, closing to a 29-24 deficit at halftime. Cincinnati then began the second half with a 9-2 scoring run that gave them a 33-31 lead, their first lead since the first few minutes of the game. Nate Lubick hit a baseline hook to tie the score at 31-31, and then D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera led a scoring surge that combined with the characteristically strong Hoya defense for a 22-6 Georgetown run, giving the Hoyas a 53-39 lead with 3:30 to play. Georgetown continued to pull away to win 62-43. The Bearcats shot only 14-for-38 (36.8%) from the field and committed 15 turnovers. Otto Porter shot only 3-for-9 from the field but made all 11 of his free throws – most of them in the final minutes – to finish with a game-high 18 points, Markel Starks had 14, and Smith-Rivera finished with 13.
