Spring (Training) is Over

One of the great parts about the game of baseball is it can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere and at any time. And as it turns out, Spring Training is no different. Harry Caray said it best, "It's the fans that need spring training. You gotta get 'em interested. Wake 'em up and let 'em know that their season is coming, the good times are gonna roll."

Just as much as these past four weeks have served to aid the Yellow Jacket baseball team in sharpening their skills and getting both their bodies and minds ready for the coming season - it also serves as a reminder that [college] baseball is back. And at least until May, it's here to stay.

The Diamond has put together an official Spring Training wrap up and behind the scenes account of what the Niners encounter on a daily basis. A special 'sneak preview' was shown today to the Jacket faithful at the team's First Pitch Luncheon at Scotty's Club 111. Re-done and set to a different tune, take a look at DC Baseball's Spring Training summary.

Opening Day is less than a week away, on Thursday (2/28) the Niners will depart for Florence, KY to take on a regional opponent - MIAA's Calvin College. Not able to make it down to the Bluegrass State? No problem, live stats can be found at www.DefianceAthletics.com
