    2021 Baseball Letter from the Athletic Director Dear Friends of UConn Avery Point Baseball: I offer my sincerest greetings as the 2021 season kicks off for our baseball program at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. Pointers There certainly have been a lot of changes in the world since the team took the field to start the 2020 season. Pointers However, we are excited to see our Pointers back out on the field for action this spring on the heels of a 2020 campaign that was cut short after just five games due to the pandemic. With a mix of student-athletes in their first, second or third academic years here at Avery Point, I believe that we’re looking ahead towards a strong season. Coach Ratchford and his staff have assembled a fine group of student-athletes that has already achieved great things academically in the last 12 months. Last year’s team posted a 3.3 combined GPA in the spring, 2020 semester and closed the year by earning NJCAA All-Academic Team Honors. This year’s squad followed that up by notching a 3.28 team GPA in the fall semester. Despite some changes to participating teams in the region and across New England, we have assembled another competitive schedule here in 2021. Thank you for your continued support of UConn Avery Point athletics. Go Pointers!

Petty Officer Second Class Janna Mullaly, a boat- swain’s mate, who is respon- sible for anchoring, mooring and driving the ship, is one of the sailors serving aboard USS Jackson, homeported in San Diego. “Being a boatswain’s mate forces us to work hard,” said Mullaly, from Dayville. “There is a lot of labor work and lead- ership involved and you have to have the technical expertise.
