The Central Connecticut baseball team dropped a pair of games on the road at Bryant University on Friday afternoon. Bryant used a one-hitter to win game one 3-0, and capped the day with a 6-2 win in the second game. The pair of losses drop Central to 15-13 overall, and 9-6 in Northeast Conference action.
