LAST TIME THEY PLAYED AT MARGE SCHOTT STADIUM: The Pirates and Bearcats played in a winner-take-all series in the final weekend of the 2009 season. Cincinnati won the series with a come-from-behind win to take the rubber game and move on the BIG EAST Tournament. The Bearcats were down to their final strike before a single by Cameron Satterwhite scored Chris Peters to tie the game. Lance Durham delivered the final blow by driving in T.J. Jones with a single in the bottom of the 10th. Seton Hall forced the rubber match with an, 8-6, win in game one of the doubleheader. In that game, Will Walsh belted a three-run home to give Seton Hall and early lead.
CONTINUING ON THE CAREER PATH
A.J. Rusbarsky picked up 11 assists last weekend against Louisville to increase his career-record total of assists in a Pirates uniform to 677. He broke the 15-year old record of 489 set by Mike Moriarty in 1995 on May 8, 2010 in a, 9-7, win against Pittsburgh at Owen T. Carroll Field.

PROSINSKI NAMED PITCHER OF THE WEEK
Jon Prosinski landed the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week honor for his complete game two-hit shutout over the Louisville Cardinals. He becomes the second Pirate pitcher to win the conference's highest weekly honor for a pitcher, but it's the fourth given to Seton Hall's staff this season.
