Looking forward to the games at Knights Stadium. I don’t know that I’ll make it to any on campus since I don’t really care much for baseball, but games at Knights stadium are fun.
Phillips Road down to one lane this weekend.

Key player to watch for W&M is their 1B Charley Gould, who was named a Pre-Season All-American and Pre-season CAA Player of the Year.
W&M is picked to finish 5th in the CAA.
can we please score some runs and play defense without committing like a million errors that would be nice
clt says this looks like the Brady courtroom sketch.
Niners win game 1, 7 to 3. 12 hits, no errors.
I thought we played well, especially considering it was our first game. We had a decently large crowd there too. The student section was not only full, but it overflowed into the section next to it, which was also pretty full, and so was the section next to it.
Saturday’s game starts at 1:00.

Must be time to start working on their tans for spring break. 8)
we lose only three to graduation this year? too soon to mention it, but wow!
Well… Whaddaya know? Nice writeup.
Credit where credit is due
Thank you Judy!
Dropped game two 5-1. Will have to try and win the series tomorrow.
Niners made a lot of contact tonight, but were just hitting it to the wrong spots. Casas has a shaky start, but got settled in really nicely. Niners used a ton of pitchers in this one though.
Two W&M homers really hurt the Niners, first one gave the Tribe a 2-1 lead, second one sealed the game in the 9th making it 5-1 Tribe.
Onto the rubber match!
How about those two putouts by Hampton in CF? He looks like he’ll be fun to watch. Good speed, too.
I coach for a team that played against him in HS. Kid is one of the fastest I have ever seen. He will be a star for the Niners!
