Having big year at plate, Texas A&M commit Brady Cunningham bounces back on mound for Brother Rice. ‘Finally.’
Texas A&M commit Brady Cunningham has had a tremendous offensive spring for Brother Rice. Record-breaking, even, as his 14 home runs are the most in a season in school history. But Cunningham, a junior infielder/pitcher, has struggled mightily in another aspect where he’s used to being equally dominant — on the mound.
He came into Monday’s game with a 9. 30 ERA. So, shutting down rival Marist?
That felt especially sweet. “I finally just started attacking guys,” Cunningham said. “I think I did a good job of doing the little things right.
If I made a mistake, I bounced back super quick. It feels good to finally do my job on the mound. ” Cunningham struck out seven over six shutout innings Monday and allowed just two hits to lead the host Crusaders to a 1-0 nonconference win over the RedHawks in Chicago.
Cunningham also outhit Marist by himself, going 3-for-4 with a double for Brother Rice (23-10). Louisville recruit Colin Campbell pitched a perfect seventh inning for the save and produced a single and a run. Boston College commit Luca Agne drove in the lone run with a single.
