DC Softball Blogs About Spring Break in Florida

We finally started our season down at Centre College in Kentucky on our way to Florida. It was good to get our cleats on and finally be able to put on our uniforms. We left Centre with a split, and we were ready to head to Florida for some warm weather and some softball. The trip down went pretty fast, but we had a surprise when we arrived to our hotel to find that they didn’t have room for us that night. After a great tour of Orlando, we finally found a hotel and food. We started our Florida games with Washington and came up short with rocky defense, and our second game got rained out. On Monday we came up short again against Otterbein and Marietta. Monday night we ate dinner with our rooms and had a round of team putt-putt and decided we should probably all stick to the game of softball. Tuesday was our day off, and luckily, we had a beautiful day to go with family and relax with the team. Wednesday we were back on the field, lost a close one to McDaniel and pulled through with a win against Framingham State. On our last day in Florida our defense started to come together, yet our bats were still sleepy. Our pitchers showed great improvement in Florida and ended with a great performance on Thursday.

We ended the week being 2-7, which was not what we anticipated, but we did not work hard all winter at 5 a.m. for nothing. We came back ready to work hard, and we know that it is not where you start but it is where you finish. We know what we need to work on, and we know we can come out on top once we wake up our bats and play like we know how. We are excited to turn this season around and have a great season.
