Sophomore left-handed pitcher Eric Erickson will miss the 2009 baseball season after having reconstructive surgery on his elbow, the Miami Herald reported on their website Tuesday night.

Since the final issue of last semester, the University of Miami baseball team has been very active.

The program set many records in 2008 but it will have a much different look in 2009. As they say, all great things must come to an end.

University of Miami baseball assistant head coach Gino DiMare, known for his recruiting prowess, resigned Friday after 12 years on head coach Jim Morris’ staff.

Arizona’s Colt Sedbrook started a two-out rally in the top of the eleventh when he was hit by a pitch and Brad Glenn singled to left to put runners at first and second. All that led to a Jon Gaston’s 12th home run of the season that went off the light pole in right to give Arizona a 6-3 lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

With the seventh pick of the 2008 Major League Baseball first-year player draft, the Cincinnati Reds selected junior first baseman Yonder Alonso, higher than experts had projected. That pick set the tone for a successful opening day for the No. 1 team in the country.
