New Paltz Baseball current and alumni players Sep 26th
Thanks to all New Paltz baseball alumni, friends, and family for all of your support in making this year’s alumni game a great success!
After finishing last season 12 -24, the SUNY New Paltz baseball team is looking forward to getting started this fall. The Hawks enter the fall returning most of its roster from last year to which the coaching staff has added nine new players. As a coaching staff, we are excited to get started. There will be competition this fall, and we believe we are building the depth required to be successful in the SUNYAC. We have two special dates this fall where you can get the chance to preview the 2010 team. The first is Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 10:00 AM when Vassar visits Loren Campbell Field for their annual fall scrimmage.
The second date is Saturday, September 26, 2009 for the annual Alumni Game. This is a very special day for our program as we welcome back our former players. We are fortunate to have a strong group of alumni who make a special effort to attend this game, and last year was nothing short of fantastic as we fielded TWO alumni teams. We look forward to seeing you on campus again this year. The day will start with an alumni home run derby contest beginning at 10 AM. At 1:00 PM, the alumni will have the opportunity to test their skills against the 2010 Hawks. This is a great day where the Hawks of yester-year have the opportunity to meet, and support, the Hawks of today. So bring the family, play some baseball, and enjoy a cookout at the field. We look forward to seeing you on September 26th.
Saturday, March 14th the SUNY New Paltz baseball team will open its 2009 season in Phoenix, Arizona squaring of against Division II St. Cloud in a Non-Conference doubleheader. Ten games will follow over the course of a a 9 day strecth playing various Colleges from around the nation including a set of twin ball against National ranked Eastern Connecticut on March 21st.
