BASEBALL: Scots Lose Season Opener to Capital University

Feb. 24, 2008

The young Alma College Men's Baseball Team got to learn first hand how hard it is to play that first game outdoors of the Spring after two months of inside practice as they fell to Capital University by the score of 18-11 at the Cal Ripken Classic in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Head Coach Judd Folske commented on today's action, "Our pitching struggled and we had some errors, but we will get there and every game we get to play down here will help."

In the offensive heavy game, junior Adam Carrick (Essexeville/Jackson CC) led the way with a pair of hits and two runs scored. Freshman Bobby Chasney (Warren/Cousino) added a hit and three runs scored and senior Ray Foley (New Hudson/South Lyon) finished a round tripper shy of the cycle as he reached safe on a single, double and triple in the game.

The Scots return to action today as they take on Concordia University in a jv/varsity double header. Check back for results.
