PART 3: The Florida Take
We are now at the do or die point in the season. We’ve kind of had a rough go of things as of late having lost our last five games in conference. A few of the games were heartbreakers, while some of the others got away from us a little bit. No matter how you look at it, though, we are now in a win or go home situation. At this point it is simple, win and you’re in.
This is going to be a pretty crazy weekend. We are going to play six games in four days. I’ll say that again, six games in four days! That’s by far the most baseball I’ve played in that short of a time span. But our team will be better for it. If we can come together and play good team baseball, we have a shot of beating anyone in the NJAC. This is not the same old NJAC that we have come accustomed to. This year, anyone can win on any given day, and that’s the motto we’re taking into this weekend. Not only that, but its supposed to be warm this weekend. Yes! Finally! Its spring for goodness sake!
This year has been a lot of fun, and it would be great to end it on a good note by making it to the NJAC tournament. All we need to do is finish no lower than sixth out of ten and we can make it to the tournament. If we can make it there, then anything can happen. Often times in the playoffs, it is not necessarily the best team that wins, but the team that is playing the best baseball going in. We’ve been written off time and time again this year, but I promise you this, we will not go down without a fight!
