After a two-day delay Madison College falls to UCONN-Avery Point

After waiting two days to play a game that was originally scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 a.m., Madison College faced UCONN-Avery Point this morning (5/25) at 10:00 a.m. The WolfPack struggled offensively but starting righthander, Westin Wuethrich, kept the 'Pack in the game by allowing just two hits in seven and a third innings of work. Madison College tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the eighth inning but after the Pointers answered with a run in the bottom half of the eighth the WolfPack had no answer in the ninth and fell 3-2.

UCONN-Avery Point scored two runs in the fourth inning on a single to center. Then, in the fifth inning, Mike Aiello drove into a fielder's choice that scored Nick Kanavas. The WolfPack tied in the game in the eighth on a Sam Hurt single to center field, driving in Mike Aiello. However, the WolfPack would strand three runners in that inning and the Pointers capitalized in the bottom of the eighth scoring one run on a Nick Perrelli double.
