2001 Season Review
Mother
Nature wreaked havoc with the baseball season as the Beavers opened April
1 against Bowdoin in Boston and then did not play again until April 16.
The road warriors went twenty-six games in seventeen days, including seven
straight double-headers. Although the team finished with a 12-6 season,
the pitching staff gave the team the opportunity to win every game.
