Cards staying busy

The past two weeks have been busy weeks for our players - on and off the field. We participated in the Battle of Plattsburgh Parade and Bed Race on September 11. This past Sunday our players took part in the North Country Down Syndrome Association Buddy Walk. Most of the student-athletes at the college participate in this event.

On the field we have played five intra-squad games over the past two weekends in preparation of our play date this Sunday with Clinton Community College and St. Michael's College.

Saturday is also one of my favorite days - Alumni Day! Numerous alumni come back and play in an informal game and reminisce about the 'old days'!

Cards begin community service efforts

The SUNY Plattsburgh baseball team began doing community service Sunday morning with a hike to the top of Mt. Pok-O-Moonshine. 32 players and 2 coaches, including Coach Doorey, made the trek to the top of the mountain in support of "Peaks for Pets". The team raised over $100 for the cause. Here is a link to the program if you are interested: http://www.peaksforpets.org/.

2010-11 Season Underway

Head baseball coach Kris Doorey began the 2010-11 baseball season with the Cardinals first practice yesterday. The Cardinals welcomed back 22 returners from the 2010 season, and six recruits.

The Cardinals will practice 15 times over the next five weeks and play one day of games later this September.

The 2011 baseball schedule looks has some very successful opponents. Cortland, which finished second in the nation; and, Heidelberg, which reached the College World Series.
