Spring Break

Over spring break Reese and the club baseball team went to Tampa, FL for the Spring Training Showcase. They flew into St. Petersburg on Sunday and stayed the week at their hotel until Friday. On Sunday, they all got situated in their rooms and had a team cookout. On Monday, they played two games, the first game was against Buffalo, New York. MNSU got rocked the first couple innings and fell way behind, in the 3rd inning Reese came in and threw for two innings and struck out 5 batters while only allowing one run. The second game went much better, but MNSU still lost to the 8th ranked team in the nation 6-4. The team was not too down, because this was the first time that they had been outside and were just trying to get a feel on how their team was going to be this year.
Monday night, the team partied really hard and kept partying on Tuesday on the beach in Clearwater, FL. Wednesday, they played two more games and won the first, but lost the second. That night they partied really hard and went to a world famous gentleman's club, which was a really good time. On Thursday, they won their final game which put their record to 2-3 on the year so far. The team was pretty happy on how they did, especially for this being the first time being outside all year, but still did not want to go back home to cold Minnesota. Friday night Reese got back to Mankato around 1:30 AM and slept for the next couple days because he was exhausted from his great week.
