Last Time Out
In Sunday's finale against the Saint Joseph's Hawks, the Bonnies' comeback efforts fell flat. St. Bonaventure started out with an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, thanks to a sacrifice fly from Manuel Castro. The Hawks responded in the bottom of the frame with three runs to take the lead. A few innings later, the Bonnies rallied. RBI hits from Anthony Fernandez and Castro in the fourth tied the ballgame at 3-3, and the Bonnies took the lead an inning later on an Alex Hebenstreit RBI single. Saint Joseph's once again responded, with two runs in each the fifth and sixth inning to go back in front. A seventh inning rally got St. Bonaventure back within a run, but the Hawks added six runs later in the inning to put the game away. The Bonnies eventually dropped the game, 14-9.
 
Cordeiro Catching Records
With his two-run home run in the ninth inning of Sunday's game, Antonio Cordeiro reached 100 career hits. Cordeiro, a junior, has spent all three years of his collegiate career with the Bonnies. This season has been a breakout year for him, with a career high in hits (37), home runs (6), and RBI (31). Cordeiro also set the Bonnies' single-season record this year with 26 runners caught stealing from behind the plate.
 
Hebenstreit's Hitting
Alex Hebenstreit came through with a career-high five hits in Sunday's loss to Saint Joseph's. This was the first-five hit game from a Bonnie this season and tied for the second-most in program history. The last Bonnie to record five hits in a game was David Marshall in 2025, who had six hits on May 2 against VCU.
