Gavin McCullough’s six-month ordeal since learning that the University of Vermont was dropping its baseball program has landed him close to home.
McCullough, the Stamford High School graduate and former Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference Player of the Year, received a partial scholarship nine days ago to play at Fairfield University.
“It was a long process but I’m happy the way it has turned out,” McCullough said. “I couldn’t be happier with my decision.”
McCullough played this summer for the Westhampton Aviators, helping them win the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League title. McCullough finished with a 4-1 record and a 2.48 earned run average.
McCullough was a freshman this past year at Vermont, which announced in February that it was dropping both its baseball and softball programs at the end of recently completed season.
There will be a complete story in tomorrow’s edition of The Advocate.
