CONWAY, SC - The University at Buffalo baseball team completed its 2002 season Sunday afternoon with a 23-1 loss at Coastal Carolina.

The Bulls fell behind from the start as the Chanticleers scored six runs in the first inning against starter Anthony Puccia (Penfield, NY/Penfield) (0-2). Coastal Carolina added 12 runs in the second inning and two each in the third and fourth innings to cruise to the victory.

UB managed to avoid the shutout with a run in the ninth inning. Corey Blair (Oneida, NY/Oneida) led off with a double to right field against reliever Byron Binda. Blair was then removed for pinch runner John Boom (London, Ontario/Catholic Central). After two outs were recorded, Jordan Alcott (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville South) brought home Boom with the Bulls' lone run on a double to left center.

The Bulls picked up seven hits in the contest with Blair and Eric Huber (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) each collecting a pair. Alcott, Adrian Daniels (Spencerport, NY/Spencerport) and Tim Sova (Rochester, NY/Greece-Athena) accounted for the remaining baseknocks.

With the conclusion of the season, the 16 wins by the Bulls marks the most by a UB squad since the return of the program in 2000. UB's six Mid-American Conference victories also is the most in league competition after the Bulls went 5-23 in the MAC last season, the team's first as members of the conference.
