They're back...

The Boys in Green and Gold: Steds Baseball

... at it. Yes, the Steds Hall Baseball team has taken to the field under the lights to play America's pastime. The season started with a showdown against Pangborn Hall (currently housing Morrissey Hall) and saw Steds take an early two nothing lead with Steds junior, Joe Corcoran, scoring the first run. But with a few wild pitches and a couple of rookie mistakes, Morrissey tied it up. Then, when both teams had found their groove, there was a "light strike," and the game was then postponed. 

Taking to the diamond one last time, Steds senior Joe Kimlinger said, "The boys played their hearts out. Everything they had was left on the field. Brooks Meadowcroft, leading the Stedsmen on the bump, was so lights out that the heavens took notice, and when they began to take "flash photographs," we were forced to postpone the game. Now, I don't want to jinx anything since we have yet to play the rest of the game, but at the point of cancellation, Brooks thus far achieved a particular accolade that rhymes with "go get 'er".  By the time the lightning had lit up the skies, the boys in green and gold had yet to light up their bats, but I think it was obvious to the two spectators in attendance (including our fearless leader Fr. Ralph and former President Trzaska) that the hits were soon to come.  Stay tuned for the next segment of Steds vs. Morrissey.”

On the game being postponed, Coach Brooks Meadowcroft, Steds senior, said, “Morrissey, scared of the inevitable beat down that was occurring, made a point to locate a 'lightning bolt' in the sky that couldn’t have been more than a mere camera flash in the next state over- Ohio. In the end, the only thing they can do is postpone the inevitable- a victory by the Gentlemen.”
