In a critical season finale, Post University Baseball fell 7-3 to the University of Bridgeport, eliminating their chance to host the first round of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Tournament. The Eagles needed either a victory or a Felician University loss to secure the fourth seed but ended up locked in at fifth after a frustrating ninth inning collapse. This loss means they will face Felician in a best-of-three series starting on Friday. The game featured strong performances, particularly from Post's Harby Valera, but it ultimately wasn't enough to clinch home-field advantage.

By the Numbers
  • Harby Valera pitched eight innings, allowing one run on five hits, with five strikeouts on 107 pitches.
  • Evan Cornwell recorded his 186th career hit, placing him five hits away from tying the program record at Post University.
State of Play
  • Post University ends the regular season with a record of 25-24 overall and 19-14 in the CACC.
  • The Eagles will head into the CACC Tournament as the fifth seed, facing fourth-seeded Felician University.
  • This loss extends Post's losing streak against Bridgeport to four games, marking the longest stretch since 2003-06.
What's Next

The Eagles will travel to Felician University starting Friday for a best-of-three series in the CACC Tournament. The opening doubleheader will begin at noon, with a potential decisive game scheduled for Saturday if the teams split the initial two games.

Bottom Line

Post University must regroup quickly as they head into the CACC Tournament as fifth seeds, now needing to overcome Felician to advance. A focused effort will be essential if they hope to break their losing streak against their upcoming opponent.
