5/17/2002
PITTSBURGH--The University of Pittsburgh baseball game at Youngstown State on Thursday night was cancelled because of rain. The Panthers led 4-0 in the top of third before the game was halted after a one-hour rain delay.
Pittsburgh hosts Connecticut this weekend in hopes of earning a bid into the Big East tournament. The two teams battle at noon on Saturday with a doubleheader and complete the series with one game on Sunday. The Panthers' probable starters are for the first game is P.J. Hiser (6-2, 2.55 ERA) and for the nightcap, Don Rhoten (5-3, 4.99 ERA). Eric Ackerman (7-1, 6.60 ERA) is slated to start the game on Sunday.
Pittsburgh (34-15-1, 12-10 Big East) has already set a single-season school record for conference wins (12) and home runs (59), and its 34 victories are the most since 1995.
