Bryant Bulldogs Gear Up for Final Regular‑Season Showdown
The Bryant baseball team will wrap up its regular season this Friday with a doubleheader against Marist, a matchup that could seal a perfect 2‑0 season series and reinforce the Bulldogs' dominance in the series history.
Bryant holds a 2‑0 all‑time record against Marist, highlighted by victories in 2010 and 2011, and the upcoming games present a chance to add another chapter to that storied rivalry.

Senior shortstop Ellis Garcia continues to dominate the conference, ranking second in the league batting average at .343, while his slugging percentage tops the circuit at .635 and his OPS leads at 1.083.
Outfielder Casey Wensley is poised to etch his name in program history, needing just one more stolen base to match the school’s single‑season record of 31.
Pitcher Gavin Greger has settled at a .319 average over the past two weeks, showing a steady climb that has steadied the Bulldogs’ lineup.
Utility player Carlos Irizarry contributes heavily at the plate, ranking second on the team with a .329 average, 12 doubles and 35 runs scored, providing a reliable sparkplug.
Meanwhile, Justin Hackett has been on fire, batting .441 over the last nine games with five doubles, two homers, 10 RBI and 10 runs, a stretch that has many calling him the team’s most dangerous hitter.
Marist’s Playoff Outlook
Marist arrives at the doubleheader with a 21‑28 overall record and a 17‑13 mark in the MAAC, currently perched in a playoff spot but still awaiting the final league outcomes that could reshape the bracket.
