A challenging weekend unfolded for the Albany University baseball team as they encountered significant defeats in a doubleheader against their formidable rivals from Maine. Both games showcased areas where the Great Danes struggled to keep pace with the Black Bears, ultimately resulting in disappointing outcomes.

In the initial match, the Black Bears capitalized early by scoring four runs in the second inning. Although the Great Danes managed to respond with two runs in the fifth, it wasn’t enough to bridge the gap as the Black Bears extended their lead significantly in the sixth inning. The second game proved even more daunting, with Maine establishing an early dominance that left little room for Albany's comeback attempts. Despite scoring one run in the seventh inning, the Great Danes fell short once again.

Moving forward, the Albany University team must refocus and prepare for their next encounters. With non-conference games approaching against CCSU and Eastern Michigan, Coach Jon Mueller emphasizes the importance of regrouping swiftly. These upcoming matches present an opportunity for the team to reset their momentum and demonstrate improved performance.
