A former Terrier helped his team to a perfect regular season record.

That and more in this week’s college report.

Pilots go 47-0

Austin Gomm (Georgetown, Ont.) had a pair of hits, three walks, an RBI and a stolen base as NAIA No. 1 LSU Shreveport swept a three-game series from Jarvis Christian. With the wins, the Pilots ended the regular season 47-0. They’ll take on Huston-Tillotson in Game 1 of the Red River Athletic Conference Tournament.

Chee-Aloy chips in six hits

Outfielder Cameron Chee-Aloy (Toronto, Ont.) stroked six hits, walked twice, drove in three and stole two bases in four games for the University of Illinois. He went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and two stolen bases in a 3-1 win over Purdue.

Kwinter improves to 7-0

In what was likely his final start of the regular season, Russell Kwinter (Toronto, Ont.) allowed three runs on five hits over five innings to lead the University of Chicago to an 18-3 Game 2 win over New York University. The left-hander walked a pair and struck out five. He improved his record to 7-0 and leads the team with a 2.97 ERA.

Brown tosses an innings

Right-hander Matt Brown (Oakville, Ont.) worked an inning, allowing an unearned run on a walk in South Florida’s 10-9 loss to Bethune-Cookman. He struck out one.

Green, Hammill hit in Niagara series win

Niagara University took two of three from Sacred Heart with the help of Jason Green (Georgetown, Ont.) and Elijha Hammill (Toronto, Ont.).

Green produced four hits, a walk and was hit by two pitches. He went 3-for-3 with a walk and a hit by pitch in a Game 2 victory.

Hammill chipped in five hits, a walk, an RBI and three stolen bases.

Cote homers in Rockets’ win

Josh Cote (Midland, Ont.) hit a two-run home run in Toledo’s victory over Oakland University.

Pinkney collects four hits

Hugh Pinkney (Toronto, Ont.) had two, two-hit games and combined it with a walk and three RBIs to help Tulane win their three-game series against East Carolina.
