October 8

The UNH Baseball team participated in the Yankee Small Conference College playoffs on Saturday, October 8 and left with some hardware as the Wildcats won the championship.

Before the start of a baseball game the starting pitcher wants to look at the opposing team's offensive line-up, more specifically the middle of it. A lot of team's rely on the middle of their order to produce runs and create havoc on the field, but the trio from the University of New Hampshire baseball team are putting up numbers that no opposing pitcher ever wants to see before a game.

The University of New Hampshire Baseball team went into the weekend with a record of 13-2 and a 12 game winning streak.

The University of New Hampshire Baseball team continued their streak of good play over the weekend with five wins at home.
