Baseball wins close series against Holy Cross

The No. 21 ranked men’s baseball team took down the Holy Cross Crusaders 2-1 in their opening series of the season, including an extra-inning walk-off victory on Sunday.

“We knew that we were going to have some tough games, starting with the first pitch,” said head coach Todd Whitting. “This is a team you absolutely expect to see in the NCAA tournament this year, so to get two wins was encouraging.”

Narrow Defeat

The Cougars’ first game of the series ended on a sour note Friday, losing 3-2 after giving up the go-ahead run in the eighth inning.
