Baseball’s Brigham Recognized as part of EPSN’s Best of Scott Van Pelt’s ‘Senior Night’

It was Friday, March 13 when the world of sports was changed. Cancelations due to the COVID-19 pandemic hit the nation. The NCAA canceled March Madness that evitability led to the entire winter and spring seasons halting for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year.   

Scott Van Pelt, ESPN anchor, acknowledged that "so many college and high school athlete saw their seasons, maybe playing careers, just … end. No send off, no nothing," in a Twitter thread last Friday.  

Many athletes may have played their last games without even realizing it. They won't have a chance to savor their final moments on the court, on the mat, or on the field.  

To celebrate the athlete's stories, he asked the community to share stories, photos and videos to celebrate them in a Senior Night segment.  

Suffolk baseball captain Tim Brigham was one of these athletes. 

A Walk-Off for the Captain
No, we're not talking about Derek Jeter. Tim Brigham total 17 plate appearances as a sophomore for Suffolk University in 2017. By 2019, he was a D3Baseball.com All-New England Honorable Mention who hit .390 with 45 RBI in 42 games. He was a graduate student this year, and in his final game, he hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth inning.
