McIntyre started his senior season on a tear and hasn’t cooled down yet. In fact, he’s getting hotter. CCSU’s first baseman pushed his season batting average (.511) above the .500 mark last week. McIntyre went 10-for-18 (.555) at the plate and added seven RBI to his ledger over a four-game span that featured a mid-week game against UConn and a weekend series at Big South member High Point. The 6-foot-4 cleanup hitter put his power skills on display, blasting three doubles and two homers for a 1.055 slugging percentage. Going up against the intrastate rival Huskies, McIntyre connected on two extra-base hits. He cut CCSU’s deficit to 6-3 by blasting a solo shot in the eighth inning. His power surge would continue down at High Point. HPU pitching limited McIntyre to only one hit in the series opener, marking only the second time in 11 games this season he has failed to produce at least two base knocks, but the first baseman bounced back in a big way. Following a three-hit showing in Game 2 of the three-game set, McIntyre put forth a monster performance in the finale. Helping the Blue Devils avoid a sweep, McIntyre went 4-for-5 with a double, homer and five RBI. He has driven in 16 of Central’s 44 runs (11 games) this season.
