Instead of practicing tonight, we scrimmaged with the Connecticut College Baseball Club. The temperature was 45 degrees with wind gusts up to 25mph making it feel like 38 degrees. The last 20 minutes of the game were played in a steady light rain and there was even some brief hail at one point. CCBC jumped out to a quick lead in the top of the 1st and never relinquished it. A good time was had despite the weather.

First Practice of 2015
The forecast for Thursday looks decent and the field at Fort Trumbull is clear of snow and dry. So we’re going to try to have our first practice of the year. Those who can’t make it to practice are welcomed to join us at On The Waterfront afterwards.
