The sky was blue, the grass was green, the sun was bright and the breeze was light. It doesn't get much better than this. I really feel bad for those of you stuck back in Minnesota. What ... it was 70 degrees and sunny in Rochester today? Oh... Well it was still warmer than that here in Florida.
The Lourdes Eagles hit the field Tuesday for some cooperative practices with some different teams. Three to be exact - one team from Georgia, one from Pennsylvania, and one from Kentucky. I think a couple of the boys have actually picked up a little southern drawl.
In the first session, played in the big stadium, Ricky Devorak looked sharp in his mound work. Chris Griffin whacked a long triple in the left-centerfield alley. Mark Greve pitched one inning as a closer. Geoff Nichols also smacked a single to leftfield.
The Eagles' second session included some nice defense. At third, Ricky Devorak dove to his left to snag a hot shot then threw the runner out at first. David Keeney, patrolling centerfield, made several nice plays on fly balls and line drives. Tom Schroeder, Chris Griffin, Zach Muehlenbein and Nick Schoeberl all saw time on the mound.
The third and final session of the day featured some solid hitting. Sam Sloan and Joe Fritzjunker each knocked out two sharp singles.
Best sunburn so far: Coach Herold (you can almost see the heat radiating off his neck).
A close second: David Stenzel (I believe his exact words were, "The sun destroyed me today.")
