Face-off at Whataburger Field
In a roller coaster of a season, the Javelina baseball team prepares to have some fun and have a good learning experience. After the conclusion of their series against St. Mary’s at Nolan Ryan Field, the team will head up the road to take on the Corpus Christi Hooks in an exhibition game.
Though this game will not have an effect on the overall record of the Javelinas, it does give them a chance to go up against a good minor league team.
This will allow the Javelinas to learn from how they and their opponent perform, what they need to work on, and will allow them to improve on their own play as they head into the final games against their Lone Star Conference rivals with playoff implications on the line.
This is what the Javelinas need for their team. They have shown some inconsistencies in their previous series of games and have struggled with the smaller things that can easily be fixed and avoided. This game against the Hooks will allow the Javelinas to not only see how they can fix their own errors but also help themselves to prepare for bigger opponents.
Going up against a much bigger form of competition will help the baseball team perform at a higher level than their LSC opponents. Along with that, this will aid the team in bringing more consistency to the program and will boost the morale and confidence of both the players and the coaches.
Students are encouraged to head out to Whataburger Field and cheer on the Javelina baseball team at 6:35 p.m., Tuesday, April 4.
