Welcome back after a few days off. Due to popular demand, or maybe just my desire to keep writing, the blog will continue through the remainder of the season. Hey, I think it’s kind of funny but maybe that’s just me.
Anyways, we got back from Arizona Friday morning only to be welcomed by inclement weather than cancelled our weekend series against Hiram. The Spring trip came to a close with a tough loss to Castleton State that put us at 4-5 for the week. The week had a lot of positives and the team is looking to build some momentum for the upcoming conference schedule. We really hit the ball well, but you know, you’ve just got to catch the ball which ultimately demonized us throughout the week.
I don’t know what I’m going to do now that I can’t write about the Holiday Inn Breakfast and all of it’s amenities. Let me tell you, it was an exhilarating experience!
The week got off to a great start with the Indians winning their home opener in dramatic fashion. I think this is the Indians year; maybe we’re not cursed. Baseball wise, this week we finally got a chance to get outside and practice which was nice. It was pretty frustrating being cooped up inside all winter long. Tomorrow we begin the conference grind with a makeup a doubleheader vs. Hiram College. It is imperative for us to win both games tomorrow to start conference play on the right foot. Oberlin has never made the playoffs since the existence of the NCAC so it would be a huge honor to be the first to accomplish that feat.
As I write, our ace pitcher Jack Dunn is busy studying chemistry in the lounge of my quad in front of the TV. We are such a studious team, myself included (those of you who know me will probably get a laugh out of that, but hey, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express). P.S. Jack is pitching tomorrow and is in need of a massage, any takers?
That’s all for now but tune back in tomorrow to hear about the Hiram games. I’d like to take a second and wish my brother luck in his first high school game tomorrow so hopefully you get a chance to read this Kevin. Anyways, wish us luck and welcome back to baseball in Northeast Ohio.
