-The baseball team arrived at the Tinsley Center at 9 am only to find out that their double header versus Salem State will be postponed until next weekend. Coach Smith was told that the game might be cancelled (late last night) but the game couldn't be called off until they knew for sure. In addition to a muddy infield, the game would have been played on the water in 30 below temperatures, with a 15-20 MPH wind, coming off the water. Conditions wouldn't have been very good at game time.
It is projected that Bridgewater will make up the game next weekend. In addition to the 3 games the team is playing this week (Newbury-Monday; Doubleheader vs Wheaton on Wed; Brandeis-Friday), the Bears play home versus Framingham on Saturday, they are projected to play Salem State away on the Sunday and then Westfield College on the Monday. The baseball team still has to play UMass Boston as well. We will keep you updated on this situation as we find out more information.
The team practiced on the football field. The outfield looked better than the infield. Apparently there was a frost last night and once it settled on the field and melted it turned to mud. The team took infield-outfield practice right in the SW corner of the football field. After that the position players took batting practice inside the batting cages.
With the Sunday off (because of the holiday), the Bears play Newbury College on Monday. Freshman right hander Ben Altman is projected to be the starter. Altman, the number five starter, is 1-0 on the season in 2 appearances and one start, with a 2.53 ERA. In 10.2 innings he has allowed 4 walks and struck out 2 batters.
