Dominant Pitching Leads Baseball to a Doubleheader Sweep vs. UMBC

Game One Score: UAlbany 6, UMBC 0
 
Game Two Score: UAlbany 5, UMBC 1
 
Location: Varsity Field in Albany, N.Y.

Short Story: The Great Danes sweep Saturday's doubleheader against UMBC behind stellar pitching performances from Ray Weber and Anthony Germinerio.

Coach Jon Mueller: "We had a high level of execution today. Ray Weber was sharp and Anthony Germinerio took that next step responding to not starting last weekend with seven dominant innings. We played great defense and put together enough offensively to get the two-game sweep and we have an opportunity tomorrow to take a big step forward."
