The Varsity Blues baseball team hoped to provide an upset yesterday, when they hosted St. Mike's in one of the league semfinal playoffs. The Blues got out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning and the game remained close. St. Mike's held a slim 3-2 lead heading to bat in the 5th inning but UCC could not stop the Kerry Blue offense. Final score St Mike's 8 UCC 2.
It has indeed been a very unusual spring season for the Varsity Baseball team. With only 6 games in total played and 7 games rained out, it was very challenging to get any sort of rythym with the squad. That being said, we are encouraged by the young talent that will conitnue to improve heading into next year. Thank you to all of the seniors who have played with us over the past several years and to co-captains, Nick Papoutsidis and Brennan Lupyrypa.
After 42 years teaching at UCC, Coach Bart Badali will head into a very well-deserved retirement. Bart and I have coached the Varsity Baeeball team together since its inception in 1992. His leadership, coaching ability and friendship will sorely be missed. Thanks Coach!
