YJC - Day 2 (9/21/13)

Just like anything you do in life, the second time you do it usually goes a bit smoother than the first - although the first time tends to have a little bit more excitement surrounding it than the second does. Part of that was true for Defiance College baseball this past weekend, and it was not the latter.

Day two of Yellow Jacket Cup action was this past Saturday (9/21) and the differences from day one were amazing. The tempo was faster, the energy was better (if that's possible), and the guys played harder with more focus on the task at hand. Unlike week one, which saw Purple win the day by going 2-1-1, a split was had in week two. Bringing Purple's overall record to 4-3-1 and Gold to 3-4-1, respectively.

The theme of the day was also slightly altered from week one to week two. Bonuses for innings won and pitch counts were still awarded, but to try and liven the atmosphere up a bit - the coaching staff put in place a foul ball bonus; every foul ball a player got, his team got a run....needless to say the fans in attendance had to have their heads on a swivel, cause you never knew when a ball, or more importantly - a stampede, was headed their way!






Yellow Jacket Cup play continues Saturday, September 28th at 12pm at The Rutt - it will be the last intersquad of the fall season. Still on the docket, the Jackets travel to Upland, IN to play a doubleheader against Taylor University - Saturday, October 5th. Stay tuned for more details on the Taylor scrimmage and keep an eye on the Diamond's Twitter feed for continual Fall Ball updates as well as YJC scores and highlights!
