Jason Glushon pitched Emory to the UAA tournament win.
Emory Athletics
The University Athletic Association does things differently. Brandeis, Case Western Reserve, Emory, Rochester and Washington (Mo.) returned to "Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium" for the 18th Annual UAA Baseball Tourney on March 13-17.
Jason Glushon pitched Emory (4-2) to its fifth UAA title as the Eagles defended their 2006 title. Glushon (2-0. ERA 0.00) gave up only one run in the 16 innings he pitched. The run was an unearned run on his own error in the first inning on Saturday, March 17th against Washington.
Glushon was not Emory's only star of the tourney. Shortstop Brandon Custer went 10-21(.476) over the games with 3 RBI and 3 doubles.
Washington, Brandeis and Rochester tied at 3-3. The Washington Bears received stellar performances on the mound from RHP Zach Richter (2-0), who yielded 4 hits in 8.2 innings of shutout ball, and LHP Andy Shields (1-1) who gave up 1 unearned run in his complete game 4-1 win over Rochester on Saturday.
Brandeis was led by Freshmen C/1B Ryan Healey and RHP Drew Brzozowski. Healey went 8-19 (.421) with 2 doubles and 2 RBI. Brzozowski went 1-0 in 10.0 IP for an ERA of 0.90. Brandeis' junior RHP Craig Letendre also went 1-0 in 6 IP for an ERA of 1.50.
Rochester competes for the crown in the Liberty League, so the Florida trip was a chance to get the season started. The Yellowjackets ended 5-4 in Florida and were led by OF Jim Bard, 9-22, for a BA of .422. Rochester hosts a a 3-game series with Skidmore next weekend to kick off Liberty League play.
Case Western Reserve finished the tourney with a 2-4 record, but Case OF David Adams went 11-22 (.500), scoring six runs on 11 hits including 3 doubles to lead all batters in batting average.
This five-team conference does not have the requisite seven members to earn an automatic bid, so the only thing on the line was conference pride and the crown. (Chicago chooses not to participate, while New York University and and Carnegie Mellon do not filed baseball teams.) Emory and Washington U. earned at-large Pool B bids last year (2006 playoff participants). NCAA playoff hopes lie in each team's success in the rest of the season.
