Short Story: The University at Albany baseball team completed the four-game weekend sweep of UMES. With a convincing performance, the Great Danes defeated the Hawks 13-0 in game four on Sunday afternoon with two more home runs from Brad Malm and a strong pitching performance led by Connor Eisenmann

Coach Jon Mueller: "Today was a complete game by the team. We played solid defense and Connor Eisenmann gave us five solid innings of one-hit ball.  Sweeping a four-game set is difficult to do, so the staff is extremely proud of the guys for staying focused. Brad Malm has had one of the most impressive starts to the year. He homered five times this weekend and currently has eight through seven games."
