Today was our first day of games. The team has so many little rituals that we do before the game. You learn them as you go, so freshmen were completely lost. I thought I was going to be nervous, but being surrounded by teammates that are so into the game and supportive really eased the anxiety.
We won the first game against Macalester. The team played really well together, making key plays and cheering each other on the entire game. We lost the second game, and it was a bit more of a challenge for us.
We hope to learn from today's mistakes for tomorrow's two games against Wooster and Smith. Today was an overall positive experience and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.

GAME DAY is finally here, what a relief! Among all the butterflies in our stomach we took the field, freshly lined and ready to go. Waiting to hear the sound of the bat on the ball, the anxious feelings soon calmed down after the first hit, better yet the first run.
In the first game, we took the lead and never looked back. The game ended with a tally in the win column for us; it was a great start to our long season. Our second game was a little more intense. Having battled the whole game, we couldn't pull it out in the end. It was a tough loss, but we never gave up; the ball just didn't go where we wanted and the runs were in the favor of NYU-Polytechnic.
Tomorrow we will hit the field once again bright and early, even if we did arrive today in the dark. But yes, bright and early to play yet another game. Another day at the ballpark is another day to pick up some wins. It feels great to be playing again, not to mention the beautiful weather. Until tomorrow...
