The Seton Hall baseball team will head to Prasco Park on Thursday, to compete in its first game of the 2018 Big East Tournament in Mason, Ohio. The Pirates enter the double-elimination playoff as the second seed in a field of four, with a 13-4 record in-conference that surpassed any mark the team had managed in the four seasons following Big East reconfiguration in 2013.
Grounded by mature veterans throughout the lineup and rooted by coaches new and old, the Pirates have improved game over game, from late winter to the end of spring, with the progression all leading toward this weekend, which consists of a chance to win a first Big East title since 2011.
