Great day today on the Hilltop. Great to have the alumni back on campus, but also great to recognize one of the most selfless people. @batboybrandon shows up to practice everyday and pushes and motivates our team. Doesn’t expect anything in return. Thank you B!

With 0 outs in the inning, why do we have to run for the catcher? I thought the rule was in place to speed up the game? Does it take a full inning to put gear back on? Let them learn to run the bases, they will have to at the next level.

Great worker and even better competitor!!
Akron’s Sean Perkins pitched five innings of near-spotless baseball as the Zips defeated the No. 10/12 Blue Devils 4-2!
Throwing the final five innings, Perkins held his own with just two hits allowed along with one run and striking out two.
