BUFFALO, NY – A pair of former University at Buffalo baseball standouts, Tom Murphy and Steve Geltz, earned another Major League Baseball call ups last week as Murphy was promoted by the Colorado Rockies and Geltz earned the call-up to the Tampa Bay Rays.
This marks the second time in UB baseball history, joining last season, that they had two former players playing in the majors at the same time. Prior to Geltz and Murphy, the UB baseball program had only one player ever reach the majors and they are one of just two MAC schools to have at least one guy drafted in five straight seasons.
