Rocky Start

Today was not a good day for the College of Mount St. Joseph baseball team. We played two very good teams on a beautiful Florida day. Heidelberg was a team that could hit, probably one of the main reasons they are ranked so high nationally. However, we did not help our cause at all, only scoring two runs. We could not get anything going on offensively whatsoever. We'd get a hit here and there but nothing consecutively. Our defense made some mental and physical errors as well. You can't do things like that at this level, and we saw what happens when you do. The final score was 14-2, not the outcome we were looking for.

Our next game against Ohio Wesleyan was no different. They were not as good as Heidelberg but we played just as bad as the first game--mental errors, physical errors, and inconsistent hitting. We never acquired a lead in any of the two games, and in this game we lost 6-1. Only scoring three runs in two games against teams like these are not going to cut it.

Today was a sloppy day, plain and simple. It is definitely not the way we wanted to open up our spring break. Tomorrow we play a double-header against Wittenberg. Hopefully we change things around and come out with a couple victories.
