Not sure if it was posted here but it looks like the SHU Baseball team went 2-1 in the opening weekend of the season. Fell to #20 Iowa (5-2) before beating Michigan State and Merrimack. Would be nice if Baseball could consistently be in contention in the Big East.

2024 Baseball Schedule - Seton Hall University Athletics
The official 2024 Baseball schedule for the Seton Hall University Pirates
Team improves to 5-1 with a win over Georgia st today. Lead the series 2-0 with game 3 tomorrow.
4-1, not 5-1.
Ga State‘s record isn’t that good, but they have a weather advantage now, so no complaints.
Not a bad idea to start the season this way instead almost unwinnable games at North Carolina or South Carolina.
If you want to be the best then you play the best. Playing the best of the rest does nothing to accomplish that.
The team also needs to play the larger school because it helps fund the trip for them to play. Seton Hall is a buy game scenario for these Power Southern schools.
I agree, and they will play more good teams coming up. And they did open with ranked Iowa.
It’s more of the disadvantage of playing teams who’ve been outside much longer that is an issue the first weekend or two.

Pirates Power Their Way Past Georgia State, 14-13
Stats
Atlanta, Ga. -- Jonathan Luders (Lynnfield, Mass.) tied his career high with four hits and four RBI and Danny Melnick (Hamilton, N.J.) delivered the game-winning RBI as the Seton Hall baseball team defeated Georgia State, 14-13, in a 10-inning slugfest that clinched the series victory.
Staus Pokrovsky (Pittsgrove, N,.J.) hit a home run, drove in two runs and scored twice for The Hall (4-1) and three other Pirates collected two RBI. Michael Gillen (Rochelle Park, N.J.) struck out five batters in three innings out of the bullpen to earn the win.
How It Happened
Luders got the offensive outburst going with a solo home run on the game's first pitch. Pokrovsky would later score on a wild pitch and Kevin Milewski (Wallingford, Conn.) drove in an RBI single that gave the Pirates a 3-0 lead early. After cutting its deficit to one with two runs in the bottom of the second, the Panthers took their first lead of the game with a three-run home run in the bottom of the second that made it 5-4.
Seton Hall responded with a four-run top of the third inning 8-5 Pirates, highlighted by a two-run double off the bat of Kyle Lyons (West Chester, Pa.) and Luders' third RBI of the day on a run-scoring base hit. Georgia State went on to score runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings to jump back in front, 9-8. Pokrovsky's first home run of the season tied the score up at 9-9 in the top of the sixth before an RBI groundout broke the tie to make it 10-9.
Despite holding a 13-11 lead entering the bottom of the eighth, Georgia State rallied with two runs that tied the score up once again at 13-13. After Gillen worked a scoreless ninth, the Pirates jumped in front for good in the top of the 10th inning on an RBI single by Melnick that plated Aiden Robbinis (Yardley, Pa.).
