Sean, like the other players, juggles practice and three games per week with a full load of classes.  The baseball team has a jam-packed schedule, playing 55 games in the regular season!
Come join us to cheer on Sean and the rest of the team this Sunday at our Communication Studies Game Day!  1:00 at Benedetti Diamond!  The #1 ranked Dons will take on the #3 ranked Lions of LMU.  Fun fact: Baseball players are highly superstitious, so in addition to watching the field, I’ll have my eye on the dugout to catch some of the team’s game time rituals.
Thanks, Sean, for taking us through your day!  Congratulations to you and the rest of the team on your season and good luck this weekend!  Go Dons!
