Central Games

Yesterday was an ugly day in all aspects.  First of all, the weather was frigid.  I don’t know what the temperature was for sure, but the high wind gusts only made it colder.  It snowed most of the way down to Pella.  The standing water along the roads had turned to ice overnight because of the bitter temperatures.  Needless to say it was far from ideal softball weather!

 Despite the cold, we went on with the games.  The Dutch took both games from us by scores of 12-1 and 14-3.  We had a bad inning or two each game to give Central the advantage.  We are now busy regrouping and focusing on eliminating those bad innings.  We know we have the potential to be a great team; we just have to figure out a way to reach our potential every time we set foot on the field.  We will be ready to do this on Saturday, April 7th as we travel to Dubuque to take on Loras.  The double-header will begin at 2:00.  The forecast calls for a high of 34 degrees and a chance of snow showers so hopefully we will get the games in!

Swing into Spring Visit Day Canceled

Due to low turn-out because of scheduling conflicts we have canceled the Swing into Spring visit day that was scheduled for Saturday, April 14th.  We would still like to encourage those interested to come and visit us on campus when it is convenient for them.  To set up a visit simply call admissions at 1-800-383-2821 and let them know which date works for you (also be sure to tell them you are interested in playing softball).  They will set up the entire visit for you.  Again, we apologize about the cancellation.  Hopefully we will see you on campus soon!

Season Update

If you haven’t already noticed…it has been a while since I have posted a softball blog.  Other tasks always seem to arise and blogging gets pushed aside.  This blog should give you a good idea of what our season has been like so far.  I will try to blog after every game from here on out to keep our readers updated!  We are now 4-8 overall and getting ready to open conference play (that is if the weather ever decides to cooperate with us)!  [Read More]
