Before we get into this week’s recap, the athletics department
would like to say a huge “Thank You!” to all of those who have sacrificed for our freedom. We realize that our ability to live the way we do is because of what those soldiers, past and present, have been willing to go through. Whether today is a day off or not, I hope that you will take a quick minute and say a prayer for all those fighting at this moment, and also thank someone in the military, whether it be a family member, friend or complete stranger.
Things have continued to wind down as all but the Track and Field programs have concluded their 2008-09 campaigns. Baseball was the latest group to finish up having faced High Point in the Big South Championships, falling in a tight battle, ending their season. Mark Perry was named to the Big South’s All-Academic team as part of the festivities.
As for the game, CSU tallied 12 base hits, but could not seem to string them together as they got just one run in the top of the sixth inning, but fell 2-1. Jesse Cadenhead and Keith Hustedt combined to pitch all nine innings, giving up just seven hits and two runs. Offensively, Tom Burkett went 3-for-4 on the day, while Brantley Meier, Tyler Thornburg, and Mark Perry each had a pair of base hits. It was a sacrifice fly by Derek Smith that scored Nick Chinners to give CSU their only run.
The baseball team also announced the placement of 10 athletes in summer baseball leagues.
