With a score of 10-1, the JV Orange baseball team came out with a win against Rouse on Tuesday night in seven innings. The team went off the field in complete joy, proud of yet another win, making them 3-0 in district. They explained that their teamwork and bond are like no other, which has improved their play in their games.

“Our whole team played really well because we’re able to practice with one another every day,” Jake Morrow ‘18 said. “We’ve really meshed together and gelled as team, so we have great team chemistry overall. Being like this, we can joke around in the dug out, but when we get on the field it gets serious and we focus up, it’s awesome.”

Members of the team not only expressed pride in the way their team played, but also how they played individually and reflected on how they should improve.

“I played pretty well. I had one at bat, and I got a double to score out last run. I think in order to play better that game, I should’ve practiced more the days prior to and maybe I would have played more,” Andrew Dyar ‘18 said.

Many baseball players have superstitions that they believe impact their game.

“I wear the same socks, undershirt, underwear, and shoes, all of which I only wash occasionally,” said Nicky Manasso ‘18. “Also, before I pitch, I stand behind the mound and pray for a little bit, then I throw.”

The next game will be held at Rouse on Mar. 24.
