Every season a team plays there spring training games and that is when the caliber of the team is made. Teams go through streaks, winning and losing occurs through this time period as chemistry and skill is worked out. We lost 6 games at the beginning of the year but now we have officially hit our stride. Dominating the SUNYAC conference year in and out has been our teams persona and that is the case this year. We have not lost a game in conference play this year and continue to roll through with no problem. The seniors are leading this team like they are suppose to, constantly committing huge hits and plays in the field that are aiding us in tight games. Our upperclassman have been here for four years and have matured into the center piece of our team and have been the tight nucleus that keeps the engine running. They teach the younger plays the ways of the game at the collegiate level and help with the adjustment period. Certain freshman and souphmores, however, have hit their stride earlier than others and get their fair share of playing time. Our coach has stated in interviews that this is the most talented freshman class he has had in ten years. Everyone works hard in practice and is hoping to exceed the expectations that are put on us. In the three remaining years we have we will be ready to take on the leadership roll and lead our team to more SUNYAC titles, Regional Appearances, and hopefully the College World Series in Wisconsin. With all the team lifting and bonding it wont be tough to assume those rolls and work together in unicen as one team. Our coach has a phrase that can be viewed as corny but in a way makes a lot of sense. "One Team, One Goal," has been our modo all year and means that there are no individuals on the team.

  4. So much of baseball is team chemistry, if you do not have that a team can have a great deal of talent but still not be a good team. Now that you guys hit your stride the sense of team will become even stronger. If the younger kids are that talented i cant wait to see what you do in the next couple of years.
