The delgue of rain that nost of the State of Florida has gotten since Thursday morning forced the cancellation of Wentworth's doubleheader against WPI. WPI (6-0) came off an extra-inning win over #9 RPI yesterday. Speaking of yesterday...the Leopards got a quality win against perennial regional power St. Joseph's of Maine, 11-10. The Monks are a quality program which has been in the mix for an NCAA Tournament berth on an annual basis, was ranked #26 in the Collegiate Baseball Pre-Season Poll, and was among teams receiving votes in this weeks D3Baseball.com Poll. You can read the game recap here.
Wentworth's softball team completed its spring trip with a 9-1 loss to Juniata yesterday. The Leopards head back north on Saturday with a 3-5 record. Complete statistics through the first eight games can be found here.
So what to do on this rainy day? The players are hanging out in their condos and will be heading off-site for lunch, while the staff is hanging out by the pool. Yes, the pool. Assistant coaches Billy Sittig and Matt Moyen are engaged in a fierce game of pool as this is getting typed, while assistant coach Brian Nelson has joined head coach Steve Studley, his wife Sharon, and son Steven in the pool for a swim. As if they weren't wet enough...
Hopefully the weather will break and we will be able to get in the final two games of the trip against Clark tomorrow at 1:00 p.m., at Southestern University, in nearby Lakeland, Florida. Provided power and internet access are available, we will be providing live stats for both games.
