Baseball Drops Finale to Georgetown, 10-3
It was not a great season for UMBC. They only had nine wins and dropped the last game of the season. But seniors Shawn Retz and Tom Meaney went out on high notes as each homered.
But through the down season there is a lot to be happy about. They are the youngest team in the conference and will be much better next year and will likely be competitive again in two years. One year works wonders for a pitcher. When you see the improvement Austin Drewyer made from last year to this year you’ve got to be impresses, so just wait until next year and his senior year. The same goes for David Divita. He can be a great pitcher in the conference when he’s healthy. The only problem is he may not get to that point.
Hitting wise the foundation is there. Max Himmelstein is the future clean up guy and Justin Lamborn and Rich Conlon make a great defensive infield that can get a few hits a game. Brian Russo also has potential as a power hitter. So just because they had a down year, it means they are rebuilding, not regressing.
