Good morning. We hope you get to enjoy Presidents Day today!
What else are we mixing into today's Brew?
⚾️ Baseball beats Rider
🥎 Softball takes down four teams
🏴☠️ And much, much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 That’s Three. The baseball team took down Rider, going 3-0. The Pirates won the first game 16-2, the second game 7-0 and the third game 7-0. Parker Byrd made his college debut in the eighth inning, becoming the first NCAA DI student-athlete to play in a game with a prosthetic leg. Zach Root had seven strikeouts and no runs allowed in 4.2 innings in game two. This is the first time the Pirates have had consecutive shutouts since 2015.
🔼 Winning Weekend. The softball team had many games this weekend and won four of them. The Pirates took down Fairfield 2-1 and 8-0, Marshall 13-1, and Longwood 6-0. Taylor Apple recorded 10 strikeouts in eight innings in game one. Morgan Johnson went 5-6 at the plate and tallied 11 RBIs in the double-header on Saturday. Addy Bullis had her third win of the season after tossing five strikeouts and only firing up three hits.
🔼 That’s a Dub. The men’s basketball team beat Tulane 81-67 for its seventh win of the conference season. This is the most wins the Pirates have had in the American Athletic Conference since joining the league prior to the 2014-15 season. RJ Felton scored 21 points and six rebounds, becoming the 34th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points as a Pirate. Brandon Johnson had 20 points and nine rebounds.
