LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Led by a homer and three RBIs apiece from Braydon Seaburg and Sebastian Mueller, the Quinnipiac baseball team opened its weekend series with a 10-1 victory over MAAC foe Siena Friday afternoon at Connor's Park.
With the win, the Bobcats improved 26-24 overall on the season and 14-8 in the MAAC, while the Saints fell to 14-39 on the 2023 campaign and 7-15 in the MAAC with the loss.
With the victory, the Bobcats have clinched a berth into the MAAC Championship next week for the first time since the 2019 season. That season, the Bobcats won three consecutive games to win the MAAC Championship, earning an automatic berth into the NCAA Regionals.
