CUTrevor 2026-05-08 13:07:09


The Tigers have been playing pretty well over the last month. They are coming off a win at No.7 Coastal and won the series against No.13 BC last weekend. Also, they came within a hair of winning both series against No.5 UNC and No.9 UVA!

First pitch tonight is at 6:00. I am on my way to Europe, but Chris Hamby will provide live play by play right here!
