In the slimmest possible margin, the once-in-a-lifetime pitcher edges out hockey’s Thatcher Demko
When the 2016 baseball season started, Boston College’s potential star power stood overshadowed. Birdball was on the west coast in Arizona sweeping Northern Illinois, but the men’s hockey team was sweeping Vermont, their 13th and 14th games without a defeat.
Justin Dunn, tabbed as one of the team’s top two prospects, stood in the bullpen as the closer. Against the Huskies, he threw an inning, giving up a double but striking out two. It was a promising start, but it likely went virtually unnoticed against Thatcher Demko’s 30 saves in a 4-1 win over the Catamounts.
