What's up,

Today we woke up around 8:00 a.m. and ate breakfast at the hotel before departing for William Carey at 9:30 for our game at noon against South Carolina-Beaufort. Once we arriving at the field, we got loose, played a little catch and hit in the cages before the game started. Drew Greiwe started the game for us and pitched well, but we ended up falling to the Sand Sharks 5-2. Despite the loss, spirits are still high with the team and we plan to come back tomorrow and earn ourselves a victory. After the game, the team went to eat at Outback Streakhouse. Brock Grant's parents were kind enough to buy the team Bloomin' Onion appetizers.

Game time is now scheduled for 10:00 a.m. instead of noon due to rain coming into the area. We will be playing Oklahoma Baptist, who earlier today lost to William Carey. We need this win to stay in the regional tournament, so wish us the best of luck!
