Date Posted: 6/4/2006
ATHENS, Ga. - The miracle season has finally come to an end for the Dolphins as the JU baseball team was eliminated from the 2006 NCAA Regionals after a 15-8 loss to No. 7 Georgia, Sunday afternoon in third round action at Foley Field.
"We couldn't get their bats out today," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "I'm proud of how we battled back in this game but they hit everything that we tried to throw at them.
"I'm satisfied with our record and what we've accomplished this year but I want us to be a team that everyone is afraid to play. Until that happens, I will never be completely satisfied when a season comes to an end."
Sophomore Matt Dobbins (12-2) suffered his second loss of the regional after allowing a season-high eight runs on nine hits with two walks in three innings of work. Senior Gordie Gronkowski led the Dolphin offense with three RBI. The game also marked the final contest for seniors Donald Brickle, Kyle DeVries, James Murdock, Aaron Parvey and Gronkowski.
