Students and faculty at colleges all over the country celebrate the arrival of Spring Break each and every Spring Semester. At Albertus Magnus College Spring Break will be taking place next week, as students return home for a week with friends and family, or possibly head off on vacations.
But for baseball and softball players, there is no such thing as a Spring Break. During the upcoming week both the baseball and softball teams will be heading down to sunny, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a week filled with games, to kick off their seasons.
As a baseball player, I have been looking forward to this trip all year, and although game days are all business, after the games end, the team has an awesome time. Our trip will begin on Saturday morning as we head to Baseball Heaven in Yaphank, New York for a doubleheader with in-state rival Eastern Connecticut State University. The doubleheader should prove to be a tough test for our young team, as ECSU comes into the matchup ranked nationally, in the top 25 for Division III.
Following our Saturday games, we will be heading down to Myrtle Beach, where we will play doubleheaders on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We expect nothing less than to leave South Carolina with a winning record, as we prepare ourselves for what looks to be a very promising 2013 campaign.
Following our four day stay in Myrtle Beach, we will be hopping right back on the bus and heading north to Salisbury, Maryland for a nine inning game against nationally ranked Salisbury University. Salisbury handed us a tough loss last season to end our spring trip and we will look to return the favor this year, with a very confident team.
For any collegiate baseball player, spring break does not exist, but they know, that they wouldn't want it anyother way.
