Baseball team anxious to go to Sunshine State

After losing three games to Alabama on the road last weekend, Michigan's boys of summer are preparing for their spring trip to Florida.

The team's schedule includes games at Stetson tomorrow and Sunday; games against Maine, Virginia Tech and Rollins in the Rollins Baseball Week Tournament in Winter Park, Fla., Monday through Saturda; and one more game against Maine on March 9.

Despite three lopsided losses, the team has not lost any confidence.

"We just need to do the things we're capable of doing," Michigan baseball coach Geoff Zahn said. "We've got to catch balls, throw guys out and the pitchers need to throw the ball over the plate. Part of that is just getting outside."

Aside from hitting fly balls outside, the team has been forced to practice inside all week. They will get some time outside today, when they arrive in Orlando to field balls on grass and dirt.

"We're excited to see what we can do," Zahn said. "We want to learn as much as we can about the team."
