Niagara University Continues To Struggle In Baseball

  • Posted on May 1, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Adam WagnerThe Niagara Purple Eagles ended their trip to the Hudson Valley with a 7-3 defeat to the Marist Red Foxes on Sunday from McCann Field in the finale of the three-game set.

Niagara (6-33, 3-15 MAAC) suffered its first sweep versus Marist (29-13, 9-9 MAAC) since the 2007 season. The Red Foxes broke open a close game with five runs in the seventh and eighth innings.  Marist scored two runs in the seventh inning to take a 4-1 lead.

In the eighth inning, the Purple Eagles loaded the bases with no outs when John Wilson singled to right field for his second RBI of the game.

Safety Da’Norris Searcy of North Carolina was the Bills first of two fourth round picks (100 overall) early Saturday, another indication (much more on that later) Donte Whitner’s days in Buffalo are over.  It’s somewhat surprising that the Bills used two of their first four picks on defensive backs but Nix clearly felt the secondary needed to get younger and more physical.  At 223-pounds, Searcy is capable of playing either corner or safety, though it’s highly likely he’ll join a safety unit that will include Jairus Byrd, George Wilson and Bryan Scott.  Norris isn’t necessarily a tremendous athlete, but he’s a smart player that plays tough and should contribute on some level rather early, including special teams right away.
