The GC baseball season began Feb. 1 with a 4-2 win against Emmanuel College. Before the season started, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association ranked GC’s team as ninth in the Preseason Southeast Region Top Ten. With two of the previ- ous national champions in this region, some players are grateful for their ranking in such a difficult division. However, others believe they could have done better last season.

“We had a pretty good year last year, but I think we should have won some games that we dropped midweeks and a couple on the weekends,” said Trey Ham, center and first base fourth year. “I think for what we did last year, it is pretty fair. But, I think this year we have a really good shot to jump some of the teams that are ahead of us.”

Ashton Sturgell, right handed pitcher fifth year, is using this ranking as motivation for the current season.
