Final Day In The Sun: Cougar Baseball Wins Finale


AUBURNDALE, Fla. – After finding out less than 24 hours before that the 2020 season would be finishing today, the Concordia University Chicago Baseball team took to the field one final time today against Clarkson University. The Cougars were able to honor their six seniors in their final game of their careers today. Noah Dressler, Mateo Calle, Alex Crinigan, Adam Gregory, Matt Fauth and Kyle Strepek all played in the game today, and the Cougars were able to come from behind to win by a final score of 7-6.
