Warrior Improve in Second Outing

After making more than its share of mistakes in the first scrimmage, the Warriors showed significant improvement in its second scrimmage on Thursday night. For starters, players arrived on time and proceeded through a 30 minute pregame warm-up.

Our positioning on defense, particularly in the outfield, was much better which allowed our fielders to make plays on some deep fly balls. Our bats were alive with several hard hit line drives. In our fifth bunt attempt of the season, we finally were able to lay one down in fair territory. We used six pitchers in the scrimmage and all looked promising, although a couple had trouble finding the strike zone.

A freezing rain began to fall during the late innings. Players battled through the conditions without complaint or excuses. Before too much longer, the game was called due to the weather and time.

Overall, Thursday night was a step in the right direction for the Warriors.
