The Blue Devils were able to get outside during practice for the first time this year, utilizing the Fredonia State athletic turf. The temperature got up to a mild 35 degrees (felt like 60), and with sunshine instead of wind or precipitation, the team was able to get some game-like work in.
With just over a week (10 days) until Opening Day, outfielders saw their first fly balls and infielders fielded fungos on the same surface they'll be playing on in Long Island. The energy level was expectedly through the roof as players and coaches alike were excited to be let out of the confines of Steele Hall.
The indoor portion of practice was highlighted by three more Blue Devils achieving their mile goals set earlier this year. The team is that much closer to a 100% success rate with respect to the mile, a point of focus this year stressing accountability and the need to set the bar higher.
