Marshall Baseball defeated Canisius in a three-game series over the weekend.
On Friday, Marshall won 3-2 on an eighth-inning rally.
“We pitched and played defense. If you pitch and play defense, that keeps you in ballgames,” Herd baseball head coach Greg Beals said after the win. “Give their starting pitcher credit. (Matt) Duffy threw the ball really well to put those zeros on the board early. Give our guys credit to keep competing. The thing I liked was our two-strike approach and our willingness to continue to compete throughout the game.”
Canisius got things rolling in the second inning with a Kyle Kush double that scored Jackson Strong, putting Canisius up 1-0.
