The boys of summer are back! It has been a tough season on the road so far for our Stormers men’s baseball team, with a record of two wins and 21 losses as of press time. More than ten games were either canceled or postponed due to inclement weather. This does not dampen their spirits; they are looking forward to finishing the season strong. “We are still looking to find our way at this point in the season. We need to make the necessary adjustments, both offensively and defensively. With 25 games to play I’d like to see the team learn from our mistakes the first half of the season to help us move forward heading to the playoffs in the beginning of May,” said Coach Frank Cimorelli. The majority of remaining games will be played at home, at the Oak Creek Campus.
