Xavier's baseball team had an inauspicious start to the season, dropping its first seven games in February and tallying an 11-22 mark through its first 33 outings.
Now look at it go.
The Musketeers (28-28) have won 14 of their last 16 games and claimed the Big East regular-season title. There's no shortage of drama as the season continues in the Big East Championships in Maryland, where Thursday night Dan Rizzie's walk-off single ensured a 9-8 victory over St. John's in an opener at Ripken Stadium.
From Xavier:
It was a wild game, featuring three tie scores and a total of seven lead changes.
