Any buzz/insight on the team this year? Haven't seen too much coverage/chatter on the squad.

Unfortunately, no scrimmage this fall, so hard to tell how team is shaping up. 15 incoming class, 14 freshman and one transfer. 3 upperclassman decided not to return. May need to cut 1 or 2 more if they maintain their normal roster of 31 or 32. Roster will be heavy on pitching, so not a lot of lineup depth

Was the lack of scrimmage as a result of Covid protocols? I know a lot of the schools in the area played scrimmages in October against one another. If not externally, did the team do a Purple & White series at all?

Not sure why there was no scrimmage, but since other sport teams had them, perhaps it wasn’t Covid related. Fall is made primarily up of 3 game series intrasquad games, to try to simulate weekend game schedules.
The Purple & Black World Series is going to take place the first week of November. The 3 non returners was baseball only, as far as I’m aware.
Looks like they may have freshman starting at SS and 3B, who have performed well this fall. My guess is remaining lineup will be returning players.
I assume DiLauro and Bryant will be 1&2, not sure who else will be regular SP.

Thanks for the update. First week of November seems late, but strange year all around I guess.
Any idea on where the top freshman are from? I don't see the new freshman on the goholycross baseball roster which seems odd since they've been on campus for 6 weeks.

The HC website has 2022 rosters for women’s lax and softball but nothing for men’s lax and baseball - draw your own conclusions why

Why does it seem like HC doesn’t take baseball very seriously these days?

I am afraid because that is the case. Baseball is not what it once was...and only the coach can change that with recruiting and coaching.

The vast majority of baseball teams don’t post their rosters, as they have until February to submit their roster to the NCAA. Now, most programs over recruit, which HC does not. But if they do still need to cut 1 or 2 players, then they would not post a roster online.
Given that, I do agree more could be done to improve the baseball program.

awesome.. info shared to alumni or anything? Not sure. I don’t recall any events with meaningful alumni participation (would be nice). This is parent weekend, which catching a football game is standard. Since the game is at Polar, the inter squad is a welcome bonus

Probably would have taken a lot to have the football game at Fitton and a baseball game co-exist. So, yes, a bonus.
In any regard, must have been a lot more fun for the boys this fall playing/practicing in the warm weather we were blessed with.

You used to be able to give book money to a bunch of guys to do that but they closed that loophole. Now you have to give .25 percent scholarship if they are going to get any money.

The Physics Dept. is working on a way to transfer hot air from Crossports to Fitton to dry out the diamond.😂🤔🤣 If we have a dry but windy March (kites in the sky will be a good sign) the HC grounds crew will have the field ready to "Play Ball!"

No schedule release yet. Found some of the games on other team's schedules.
North Carolina A&T March 5 North Carolina A&T March 6
Umass Lowell March 23
Bryant vs Holy Cross April 12
Lehigh vs Holy Cross April 30 Lehigh at Holy Cross April 30. Have to say looking at Leigh's stadium during the fall. Field is nice but not a lot of good spots to watch a game at all. Lehigh at Holy Cross May 1
Lehigh at Holy Cross May 8 Lehigh at Holy Cross May 8
