<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">•<b> </b>The Big Red will open the 2019 season this weekend in Waco. The team finished the 2018 season 14-24-1 overall, 9-12 in the Ivy League, but finished the season on a high note, winning three-of-four series
to end the season. The 2019 roster is fairly young and features 12 freshmen to just four seniors. They return four starting position players from 2018, one pitcher from the weekend rotation and four of their five best arms from last season.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Bears are 1-0 all-time against Cornell, with the one previous matchup coming March 19, 1997 in Waco. The Bears won that contest,

<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">•<b> Last Weekend Recap</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• The Bears are coming off a big opening weekend victory, sweeping Holy Cross in a four-game set. The four-game sweep is the first time in program history since defeating Louisiana Tech on March 10-13, 2011 and the
first opening weekend series sweep since the Bears defeated Niagra in three games on Feb. 17-18, 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• On opening day, the Bears defeated Holy Cross, 12-0, the largest opening day victory margin since defeating Centenary 15-1 to open up the 1997 season. RHP Hayden Kettler was outstanding, tying his career-long outing
with 7.0 IP and collected a new career-high 8 strikeouts.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• In game one of the double-header on Saturday, the Bears needed the heroics of redshirt sophomore Ryan Bertelsman to defeat the Crusaders. The Bears entered the top of the 10th inning trailing by one run but turned
a two-out comeback. With two down and a runner on second, Davion Downey delivered his first game-tying hit of the series, doubling in the run to tie the game up at 5-5. Then Ryan Bertelsman, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, came
through with his first-career home run, a walk-off three-run shot.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• In game two of the double-header, senior Richard Cunningham was the star, going 5-for-5 with 2 RBIs as he was just a home run away from the cycle, tying his career-high mark of five hits, just one shy of the program
single-game record.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• In game four, freshman RHP Anderson Needham looked strong, striking out 6 batters in his first collegiate action in 4.2 innings of work. Sophomore Davion Downey looked strong in the game, going 2-for-3 with 2 runs
scored, 2 RBIs, including his first homer of the season, a two-run shot in the 7th inning.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
