Huskies Return To Post-Season Bloomsburg has earned its first trip to the post-season since reaching the PSAC Tournament in 2011. In their last trip to the PSAC Tournament in 2011, the Huskies defeated Slippery Rock in the opening round, 11-6, with hits from current Huskies Brad Smith and Aaron Russell while starter Kyle Hunter went four innings, striking out two. After a 7-5 loss to IUP, Bloomsburg stayed alive with a 5-3 win over Shippensburg with an RBI hit from Russell and 4.1 innings of scoreless relief from Eric Geedey. A 6-4 loss to IUP ended the Huskies run in the semifinals. Season For The Record Books The Huskies have enjoyed one of the strongest seasons in school history this spring, setting a BU record for PSAC victories while posting one of the top overall win totals in program history. Bloomsburg completed the regular season with a 20-8 record within the PSAC East, breaking a school record for conference wins which had stood since the 1997 team won 16 PSAC contests. The Huskies enter the PSAC Tournament with 28 wins overall, the third-most in program history. Eastern Success The Huskies remained atop the PSAC East standings throughout the spring thanks to strong play against conference foes. Bloomsburg did not lose a divisional series all season, recording series victories over Lock Haven (3-1), West Chester (3-1), Kutztown (4-0), Shippensburg (3-1) and Mansfield (3-1) while splitting with Millersville (2-2) and East Stroudsburg (2-2).
