Fairfield University Baseball Head Coach Bill Currier picked up career wins number 800 and 801 as the Stags won both games of Saturday's doubleheader, completing a three-game series sweep against Hartford. The Stags picked up a 5-2 victory in the opener and won a rain-shortened contest 8-2 in the nightcap. Currier was not the only Stag to reach a milestone in the series as senior infielder Charlie Pagliarini not only tied the program's single-season record with his 13th homer but also reached 100 career RBI in the finale.

"I'm happy for all the assistant coaches and players that I had the opportunity to share many big games with along the journey coaching two great schools in Vermont and the Fairfield," Coach Currier said. "Thanks for all the well wishes from friends and alum of both schools who were a big part of the success."

Currier now ranks 25th among active Division I coaches with his 801 victories and is the 131st coach all-time to reach the 800-win milestone. In his 34th year as a head coach and his 12th with the Stags, he has also reached 309 wins with Fairfield.

The #2 Stags (21-12)(7-2) will be on the road for their lone midweek game next week, traveling to Hofstra on Wednesday at 2pm.
