The St Michaels Baseball teams both Varsity and Junior Varsity started the season off with victories. The Varsity played at North Dorchester High School and brought home an 11 to 2 victory. Dustin Jones, the only returning starter from last years State Champion Team, pitched a very strong game and added to his own cause by hitting a single run home run. The Home Opener for the Varsity team, is this Friday, March 23, against Kent Island High School. The first pitch should be thrown at 4PM. Come on down to the St Michaels sports complex, specifically Baines Field, to cheer for the Saints. Hope to see you there.
The Saints Junior Varsity team played at home against the North Dorchester, Eagles, JV squad. The final score was six to three with the Saints taking home the victory. The Eagles’ bats were active throughout the game but the Saints rotating through a number of pitchers kept the game close until a three run serge in the fifth inning. The JV Saints will play at Kent Island this Friday.
In studying the schedule I noticed that throughout the season when the Varsity is home the JV will play the same school away at the opponent’s field. Consequently, when the Varsity is playing an away game the JV will be playing at home. Additionally the Lady Saints Softball team will play the same schedule as the Boys Baseball Team.
The score of the Lady Saints verses the North Dorchester Lady Eagles game is unknown at this writing.
