Eagle Men/Women look to make post-season runs


The Husson baseball and softball teams are both locks for playoff spots this season however where they will go and who they will play is yet to be determined. The Husson baseball team will travel to Thomas College in Waterville this week to hopefully pick up two big wins in a late season double-header. The Husson softball continues to roll after beating non-conference foe U-Maine Presque Isle yesterday improving their overall record to 22-10 while remaining at 10-2 in conference play.

The baseball team punched their ticket to the post season with a double header sweep of Thomas last week giving them more wins than the Terriers who have no games remaining.

Softball sealed a spot a long time ago losing only 2 of their last 16 games.

If I have to put my money on either team, I would probably pick the women to have a better post-season run in 2008 due to consistency alone. The baseball team is young. Very young, and it looks more promising next year for the Eagle squad who start anywhere from 3 to 4 freshmen. Pitcher and occasional left fielder Ryan Arsenault of Portland has been a key component to the Eagles this season.

Either way, "Let's go Eagles" because its playoff time and anything can happen.
