Massachusetts took down Quinnipiac, 16-9, in the two programs last meeting on April 24, 2019. The win improved the Minutemen 9-5 in the all-time series with the Bobcats.
Meet the Minutemen
A solid mix of returners and newcomers compose the 2022 edition of the Minutemen as the squad begins its 139th season. Twenty-seven members of the team are back from the 2021 campaign, while eight players join for their first season in Amherst, including five freshman and three transfers.

The Minutemen have tallied 36 homeruns in 45 games, from 10 Minutemen, including a season-high four homers on the road at Fairfield on May 3. Drew DeMartino leads the team with eight, followed by Will MacLean, Mike Gervasi and Aidan Wilde with five. Cole Hebble, and Steve Luttazi tallied four each, while Nolan Tichy has two, and Dylan Judd, Kevin Skagerlind and Collin Shapiro also have one home run apiece.
Luttazi had a stellar first game with two home runs including a grand slam, before earning one in game three at Fairleigh Dickinson and one against Sacred Heart, while DeMartino recorded a two-run homer in game one at Fairleigh Dickinson, before adding solo home runs in both game two at Fairleigh Dickinson and the second game at Towson. DeMartino added two long balls in game one versus Saint Joseph's, as well, before posting a two-run shot in game two vs. Fordham and a solo homer in the second contest at Rhode Island.
Hebble, MacLean and Gervasi contributed two-run shots all in the Fairfield contest.

On A Roll…
The Minutemen have five that are riding a current hitting streak, so far this season. Judd and Pearsons sit atop the leaderboard with a streak of two, while Hebble, Sloss and Hanson follow with one game each. MacLean had the longest streak with 12, followed by Skagerlind and Shapiro with 11, with Hebble close behind with 10, before it came to an end.

Tichy had the longest streak at 21, with DeMartino, Hebble and Skagerlind all following behind, reaching base 18 times, but those streaks came to end.
Keeping it in the Family
The 2022 season marks the 56th straight campaign that Massachusetts baseball will have an alumnus of the Flagship campus as head coach. Fifth-year skipper Matt Reynolds is a double graduate (2005, '10G), and was preceded by fellow alumni Mike Stone '82 (1988-2017) and Dick Bergquist '57 (1967-87).
This is the second longest active streak across Division I baseball. Only BYU (62 consecutive seasons) has been led by an alum of its campus for a longer period.
On Deck
Massachusetts concludes the regular season with a three-game road series at George Washington, in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, May 19, through Saturday, May 21. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. on Thursday on ESPN+.
