Canisius leads bumper crop of Canadians into regionals

For the season opener on Feb. 14 at Conway, S.C., he played third base, one of his six starts this spring.

Then he was mostly in either left field or first base — 26 starts each —and once at DH.

And when the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship began on May 20, he was in centre field for one of his nine starts.

He is Etobicoke’s Connor Panas of the MAAC-champion Canisius College Golden Griffs, the former Toronto Mets infielder.

And when the NCAA regional begins on Friday night in Springfield, Mo., Panas will play somewhere on the field as the Buffalo school faces the Missouri State Bears.
