by Mike Anderson Overshadowed by the startup of the MLB season, college baseball returned this weekend. Series play opened up Friday night for most schools, including Long Island schools. There were 10 local teams in action on Friday. Let’s dive in and take a deeper look at how they all did. Division I: UConn, the #25 ranked team in the country, beat St. John’s handily 12-7 in their conference-opener. The Huskies ran away with it early, as St. John’s were playing catchup by a wide margin the whole game. It all started with a six-run bottom of the first inning from UConn’s offense, and the biggest blow was a three-run homer from catcher Matt Donlan. St. John’s cut into the lead with an RBI single from left fielder David Glancy in the top of the third to make it 6-1, but UConn was not phased...
