Week 5 of the college baseball season is now behind us as we saw some strong performances from our alumni this past week.  This was the first week where all of our alumni took to the field and there were many firsts for several of our guys.  It’s been an exciting start to the season and already looking forward to following this week’s slate of games as many teams are out on spring trips.
