It has been over a week since our players won the ODAC Championship and it was a great performance by the entire team. It is a difficult challenge to come through the loser’s bracket and face elimination each game but our players kept a positive attitude and believed more and more with each win. Our pitchers were key to giving us the chance to win and our hitters eventually hit their stride with a 10 spot in the second inning against RMC which erased a five run deficit and give us momentum that lasted throughout the remainder of the tournament. Our defense was also much better during the tournament with a number of players stepping up to make big plays.
We took last week off to heal our troops and began practicing for NCAA Regional this past Monday. We will practice three days this week before exams and resume next Tuesday following the last exam. We will not hear who is in our regional or where we are headed for sure until Monday morning the 17th of May. We will likely head to the south regional at Fayetteville, NC (host Methodist College) the 18th and play on the 19th. Most of the teams we think we will face we played this Spring, which is why we play a challenging schedule.
On behalf of the team, I want to thank all alumni, parents and friends of our program for the numerous congratulation responses following our ODAC Championship accomplishment. We will certainly do our best to win the regional. Thanks again for your support!
