On February 21, Charlie Sobieraski took the field for the Buffalo baseball team for his first appearance of the regular season. He was one of Buffalo’s best offensive players as a freshman last season, but as a sophomore, the former third baseman took to the mound against Marist, completing his transition to a starting pitcher.
Sobieraski finished with six strikeouts in five innings pitched for Buffalo. The Bulls fell to Marist 8-3, but it was a great performance for his first pitching performance since high school.
“He looked comfortable,” head coach Ron Torgalski recalled. “We knew he could throw, but we wanted to see some progression in his pitches and if he could make adjustments if they got a few hits on him.
