FAYETTEVILLE — What would you say if I told you that Central Connecticut right fielder Dave Matthews had much to say after crushing a three-run homer Saturday afternoon to lead his team to a 7-4 win over California in an elimination game?
For the record, Matthews is not named after the accomplished musician and actor of the same name, but did have the key blow when he said goodbye to a fifth-inning pitch in the Fayetteville Regional’s loser’s bracket game.
“I am actually a Jr., my dad is Dave Matthews, Sr., so he was not really too popular growing up in his era,” Matthews said.
