COLLEGE BASEBALL RESULTS FROM APRIL 19th

UC-CLERMONT RULES THE WORLD – The USCAA’s UNIVERSITY OF CINCINATTI AT CLERMONT COUGARS didn’t just upset the NCAA’s WILMINGTON COLLEGE QUAKERS, they completely dismembered them and burned the remains. A 2-2 tie in the 2nd Inning became a 9-2 lead for the Cougars by the time the 3rd Inning was over. UCC never looked back from there, going on to total the Quakers by a final score of 12-2.

THE ULTIMATE PITCHER’S DUEL – Ryan Hedges from the ALFRED STATE PIONEERS took on Derek Harkin from the SUNY- CANTON KANGAROOS in the most exciting battle of the mounds from yesterday’s action. The Kangaroos gave up one run in the opening Inning and that turned out to be all the scoring for the entire game! The Pioneers went home with a 1-0 victory.

EAGLE SPLIT – The ROBERT MORRIS (IL) UNIVERSITY EAGLES split a Double Header with the visiting CROWLEY’S RIDGE COLLEGE PIONEERS. The opening game was a 10-4 win with RMU putting up 5 runs each in the 2nd and 6th Innings to the total of 4 runs from the Pioneers. In the second game the Pioneers bounced back. The game was knotted up at 3-3 after 3 Innings of play and stayed that way until CRC busted things open with a 4-run 7th Inning to win a 7-3 thriller.    

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION – The AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY GYRENES impressed with their rout of the NORTHWOOD (FL) UNIVERSITY SEAHAWKS. A 1-0 Seahawk lead after one Inning became a 2-1 Gyrene advantage after the 3rd. That became a 6-1 AMU lead after the 7th Inning and a 9-4 lead after 8. A 6-run explosion in the 9th Inning gave the Gyrenes the win by a final score of 15-4. 

AND SPEAKING OF OFFENSIVE EXPLOSIONS – The CORTLAND STATE RED DRAGONS crushed their namesakes – the ONEONTA STATE RED DRAGONS – in a pair of games yesterday.
