UMass Baseball loses opener, 6-1

UMass played sloppy baseball en route to a disappointing 6-1 loss to the UCF Golden Knights (9-9) in the first game of the 2007 season. The lone UMass run came with two outs in the ninth inning on a single by catcher Bryan Garrity.

Three Minutemen pitchers combined to allow 17 UCF hitters to reach base, including seven hits, four walks, four hit batsmen and two errors. The big blow came in the third inning of a scoreless game when UCF exploded for four runs, including a three-run blast by Kiko Vazquez.

The Maroon and White never managed to get anything going, and only registered six hits and one walk on offense.

The two teams play again tommorow at 6:30 p.m.
