It's been a month since I've had an entry so again apologies for the lack of communication. Over the past few weeks we've had to deal with a ridiculous amount of work both on and off the field, not to mention some pretty great distractions including some beautiful weather and some great campus concerts. But now as Friday May 8, 2009 comes to a close our team is more focused than ever on the upcoming games and challenges.
We won today in the first round of the NESCAC playoffs, beating Wesleyan 13-6 who we had disappointingly split with the previous weekend. 1 game down and 2 to go, tomorrow our game is at 1030 against the host team, Williams. Jeremiah Bayer has been absolutely outstanding the entire season and tomorrow should be no different.
Today was a great game for us. We went up quickly after 2 innings of patient hitting 6-0. Jim Ramsey battled and put up some good innings for us and finished up after a 6 innings of 4 run ball. But just as it looked like Wesleyan thought they were gathering a bit of momentum, our hitters zoned in and shut the door. After loading the bases, each player that came up had quality at-bats and were able to produce at least a run. The inning ended and we went on to add a few more to complete a well played game.
The top of our line up did an unbelievable job creating momentum at the beginning of each rally. Jack Abbott had a couple fantastic hustle plays, and quality at-bats that were catalysts for our big innings. It was a quality win that puts in a great spot to take care of business tomorrow. On the bus ride home, the hitters were talking about, "once they zone in..." we can close out teams. Today was indication of our offense's ability to shut the door, and squelch any possibility of a momentum shift. It's an exciting time...and we're all looking forward to continuing this season for as long as possible.
Before the game, we had a moment of silence for the young woman that was slain at Wesleyan earlier in the week. I speak for all the players and members of the Trinity Baseball Team that our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends in this time of great tragedy.
I'll be back tomorrow hopefully with more good news
