March 26, 2008

BULLDOGS HOST SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE THURSDAY AT 2 P.M.

THE GAME
The Bryant University baseball team hosts conference foe Southern New Hampshire University Thursday afternoon at the Bryant Baseball Complex. The Bulldogs round out regular-season play against the Penmen today, after topping SNHU, 17-2, on Tuesday. First pitch is 2:00 p.m.

ON THE MOUND
Junior righthander Kevin Cobb is probable to get the nod for Thursday's bout with the Penmen. The Acton, Mass. native is 3-2 on the season with a 4.06 ERA. This will be Cobb's sixth start of the 2008 campaign, as he tries to up his team-best 26 strikeouts. A 2007 Northeast-10 Conference Second Team selection, Cobb sports a .238 batting average against, allowing 29 hits in 31.0 innings of work.

THE LONG BALL
Junior Pat O'Connor and sophomore Taylor Ferguson each knocked one out of the park Tuesday afternoon against Southern New Hampshire. O'Connor leads the team, as Tuesday's long ball was his fifth of the year, while Ferguson follows with three. O'Connor also notched his 10th double of the season in the 17-2 win.

Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Southern New Hampshire University at the school's 2007 Commencement held Saturday, May 19.
