Bulls Win Four On Texas Road Trip

The University at Buffalo baseball team picked up four victories in their nine-game, spring break Texas road trip. The Bulls opened the trip with a 12-7 victory over New York Tech in the Lamar Classic on March 7. Buffalo then won a pair of games on March 12, defeating Southern Illinois, 3-2, and Trinity University, 17-11. The Bulls finished the trip on a positive not, downing Texas-Pan American, 2-1, on March 15. Buffalo is now 5-11 on the season.

Bulls Get a Dozen in One Inning

In their 17-11 victory over Trinity University, the Bulls did the majority of their damage in the fourth inning, scoring 12 runs in the frame. Even more remarkable, the 12 runs came on just four hits. UB was aided by two errors, five walks, one hit by pitch and one catcher’s interference call. Bobby Pizzuto (Mentor, OH/Notre Dame Cathedral) capped the inning for the Bulls with a grand slam to score the final four runs of the inning.

Zach Anderson

Anderson and Hains Combine For Pair of Wins

Anderson started for the Bulls in their win over Southern Illinois, going five innings and allowing just two runs before giving way to Hains who pitched two innings, allowing no runs and just one hit. Against Texas-Pan American three days later, it was Hains that got the start, going seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits. Anderson came on to relief Hains against the Broncs, throwing one scoreless inning.

Geltz Picks Up Second Save of the Season

Steve Geltz (Ransomville, NY/Wilson) picked up a pair of saves for the Bulls in Texas, closing out victories over Southern Illinois and Texas-Pan American. Geltz picked up a two inning save against the Salukis, striking out three while allowing just one hit. In the victory over the Broncs, Geltz pitched one inning, allowing no hits and striking out two.

Brian Randazzo

Randazzo Swings a Hot Bat in Texas

Randazzo was the Bulls leadoff hitter in the final six games of the trip to Texas.
