Warrior Sluggers Lead Andre Chiefs in ICL


MEDFORD, Mass. - Present and past Merrimack Baseball Warriors helped the Andre Chiefs to a second place finish (16-11-3) in the 2009 Boston Intercity Baseball League this summer.

Among the Warriors who helped the Andre Chiefs to a G4 Championship berth were Brian Macrina (Captain 1999), Jeff Bercume (Captain 2008-09), Mike Andre (Capatin 2009), Bob McCarthy (2009) and Brendan Pyburn (Captain-elect 2010).  In their careers, they have combined for 850 hits at Merrimack College. 

Macrina (1996-99) played for Barry Rosen while Bercume, Andre, McCarthy and Pyburn all played four years under current Warriors Head Coach Joe Sarno.

Pyburn, who led the Warriors in runs scored (35) while batting .299 over 45 games in the spring of 2009, will return to Merrimack for his senior season in September.

In 36 games, Bercume was tops among Chief players in home runs (4), RBIs (25), hits (39) and second in batting (.325).
