Brown was the definition of an absolute bulldog when the Blue Devils needed him most. Making for a memorable final home start, the senior southpaw threw a NEC single-game season high 12.0 innings to catapult CCSU into the final NEC Tournament vacancy. Logging his second complete game of the season, Brown went the distance in CCSU’s 6-4 extra inning win over Wagner. He scattered 11 hits and walked one while registering a career-high nine strikeouts over the course of the 142-pitch outing. Brown, who faced the minimum number of batters in six of 12 innings, worked out of trouble in the ninth and 10th frames. With one run already in against him in the inning, Brown induced a groundout to end the ninth and strand Wagner’s potential go-ahead run at third base. With two runners on and two outs in his 10th inning of work, CCSU’s senior lefty kept the game tied at 4-4 by recording a fly out to centerfield. Brown retired the side in order in the 11th inning and also faced the minimum in the 12th thanks to an inning-ending double play ball.
