Today in Florida was not particularly a good one. We had a single game against Mount Union, which is the perennial powerhouse that always seems to win the NCAA D3 national championship in football. Their baseball team is good too, but not to those standards. This is our second year in a row playing this team in Florida and I have to say that we are pretty evenly matched. It was a hot one today, but it sure beats the hell out of playing in the snow up in crap hole Cincinnati.
Anyway, we drew first blood, scoring the first two runs of the ball game. Everything seemed to be going smoothly but that soon changed. They had a big inning, taking the lead. We battled back and got a run here and there. They had another big inning scoring four runs. Like yesterday, we counter-attacked with a huge inning, regaining the lead. But the next inning they retook the lead. It seemed to keep going back and forth with lead change after lead change. They had a one run lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning and we had our 3,4,and 5 hitters coming up. You couldn't ask for anything more. However, we couldn't get that run we needed to tie up the ball game. Mount Union took the victory with a score of 10-9. One run ball games are always a tough one to swallow. The good thing about baseball is that there is always tomorrow. Our record is now 5-3 with three more games down Florida.
Tomorrow we have another off day. We may have to practice, but it all depends on what our coach wants to do. Thursday is another big day because we have a double-header against Albion College. I don't know much about this team because I have never heard of them. Hopefully we come out on top with two victories. I'll be sure to post the final results after Thursday.
