UConn baseball beats Xavier, clinches Big East regular-season championship

After dropping the opening game of the series, UConn baseball rallied on Saturday and Sunday to win both games in dominant fashion, earning a series win and the Big East regular-season championship.

UConn has a three-game lead over second-place Creighton with three games left to play and owns the tiebreaker over the Blue Jays after their series sweep last weekend. This is UConn’s second straight regular-season conference title and third Big East regular-season crown overall.

Saturday: UConn 11, Xavier 3

After giving up a lot of home runs on Friday, the Huskies dished out some punishment of their own on Saturday, evening up the series with an 11-3 victory.
