Well this is it; well not really, but each step we've taken this entire season has culminated in a very important checkpoint in this 2009 Trinity College Baseball squad. Tomorrow we play Eastern Connecticut in order to punch a ticket to Appleton, Wisconsin and return to hallowed grounds that brought us such joy and success a little under a year ago.
The last three games we have played our best baseball all season. Our defense has been absolutely stellar, and our bats have remained consistently powerful as we plunged through the "region of death" undefeated. So with at 3 and 0 record in the regional playoffs we look to tomorrow as a defining moment for this season.
In our game against Southern Maine, Jeremiah Bayer recorded one of the best pitching performances I have ever seen. Coming off recent criticism from sources unknown on the D3baseball.com message boards, Bayer merely stuffed a sock into this this vocal minority, and recorded a 7 hit shut out performance that placed us at the top of the heap.
Last night our bats exploded for 15 runs, and Derek Anderson absolutely "dealt," fooling many WPI batters with an unbelievably wicked change-up that left many stumbling for a foothold in the batter's box. The game ended just around midnight, but we all knew that the game we just played was a statement game. Earlier in the season we had dropped a tough loss to WPI and last night we left no doubt that we were the better team on the field that night. As we all huddled around coach, he mentioned that 4 of our seniors will not be walking at graduation, because we had A CHAMPIONSHIP TO WIN.
I love Trinity College, it offered some of the best times of my life. But I'd much rather be sweating in a vegas, white, and blue, then receiving my diploma in a black gown and a goofy hat. Don't get me wrong, tomorrow's graduation will be a sad event to miss, and I hope all my classmates have enjoyed their 4 years of college as much as I did. But tomorrow; tomorrow is just a game, a game of laughter, joy, sweat, and success. Trinity College Baseball will take the field tomorrow in an attempt to keep this season going, and to bring the walnut and bronze one step closer into our outstretched arms.
