Back to College Baseball! Seton Hall-UConn highlights

I'm thrilled to have college baseball back on my schedule 2024. I started my broadcasting career as a college freshman back in 2002, with college baseball the central focus for all four years at Rice University. It is one of the sports I follow closely purely out of passion and interest, even if I'm not working in it ... but I much prefer to be working!

I was fortunate this year to schedule my first televised college baseball game for the ESPN family of networks at the end of this regular season, and I picked up a Big East game in early May as part of my preparation. Conference leader UConn, looking for a fourth straight regular season title, and host Seton Hall, trying to move up the standings, both needed to win this series in a big way, and after UConn rallied to win Friday's opener, I called a tense pitchers' duel with a dramatic finish on Saturday afternoon in Jersey.

Here are the big plays in the game, courtesy of the teams' respective Twitter accounts!







That's Andrew Bianco, a defensive replacement, with the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th to give Seton Hall a MUCH-needed 2-1 win. UConn, however, rebounded in the nightcap of a doubleheader to take the series and hold a 1-game lead atop the conference with two weekends remaining in the regular season. Seton Hall is 4 games out of the final Big East tournament spot with only 6 games left.

My next action is on Saturday, May 18, calling top-5 club Clemson against Boston College in their regular season finale on ACC Network.
