Stonehill Baseball win NE10 Championship

I know that my blog posts are generally not very serious. So why change now:

In case you didn't know, Stonehill College plays Division II athletics in the Northeast 10 Conference. This Sunday the baseball team achieved something that does not happen often, a Conference Championship! I'm lucky enough to be an assistant coach on the team.

The team came together at the right time, we have won 11 straight. The tournament was hosted at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge New Hampshire. They have a great turf field up there which really helped with all the rain we had in the Northeast Saturday. The NE10 Championship is a grueling schedule. We played 4 games in 4 days, the weather ranged from hot and sunny at the beginning to cold and raining towards the end.

The guys on the team gave a great effort everyday, we ended up defeating Franklin Pierce in the Championship game on May 9. The title is the 3rd for the baseball team.

I think at this high level of competition, the winner usually ends up being the team with the best assistant coaches (kidding). In all seriousness, I don't think I can describe just how excited everyone was so instead I'll just put a link up to the YouTube video we have been watching non-stop.

Thanks to everyone who supported us throughout the year! Now it's on to the NCAA tournament and our regional games in New Haven. For game schedule and updates please check our varsity athletics website http://www.stonehillskyhawks.com/

On a completely different note, I would like to welcome all of our great students entering Stonehill in the fall. The Class of 2014 will be one of the most competitive we have ever seen.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
