Due to adverse weather condition, the Stormers baseball squad hasn’t played a game since mid-March. Contests against Lake Michigan College, College of Lake County, and Rock Valley College have been either postponed or canceled.
The Stormers’ first home games were scheduled to be played on Saturday, March 29 but were called off because of wet, sloppy field conditions.
Through seven games, MATC has recorded two wins and five losses. First baseman Tyler Dorsey, outfielder/infielder Marty Pitts, and outfielder Zach Taylor lead the team with five hits apiece. Catcher Brad Jacob and infielder Kyle Spott have each demonstrated a patient eye at the plate by both drawing four walks.
Dorsey’s glove has shined a golden hue so far as well, having notched exactly zero errors while manning the bag at first.
Pitcher Paul Murphy has dazzled in 9.1 innings of work, only allowing two earned runs while striking out five hitters and walking just one. Pitcher Lucas Keller has matched Murphy’s innings and strikeout totals but has walked five and given up seven hits, still impressive totals that demonstrate strong command from the mound.
The Stormers hope for a dryer Oak Creek in the coming weeks, as they have a huge weekend of home games beginning with a double-header against Olive-Harvey College on Friday, April 11.
