First Scrimmage Game Of Season

The basbeall team had the first intersquad scrimmage baseball game of the season today. It went pretty well for being the first time out. The red team which happens to be the one that I was on actually won. It was a low scoring game but that was expected because none of the hitters have seen live pitching in atleast a month. Our pitching looked really good for the first time out which means that there is great promise for upcoming terps baseball games. This could be the year even though this is supposed to be a rebuilding year. I don't think that the seniors are going to allow that to happen because they want to win this year not next year. That would not do them anygood obviously but terps baseball has a bright future from what I saw today. It was good quality baseball and was enjoying to play and part of that has to do with the fact that it was a beatiful day for baseball.
We have twenty one innersquad games this fall and as long as they continue to build on today's solid performace than hopefully the spring will bring winning times. I would say that there was probably ten hits total by both teams but hopefully the more that we get to see live pitching the higher scoring and more interesting the games will become. The terps baseball program has been down in the past years but it does not help that the ACC is the best baseball conference in the country. So hopefully all goes well in the spring and we can win the ACC tournament. PS: Remember that I can't spell without spellcheck.
