: At 5-5, the Colby baseball team is not satisfied—dissatisfied not with their record, but with the knowl- edge of what might have been. • "We're two or three hits away from being 7-3, or even 8-2," said tri-captain Bill Goldman '01. ¦1: The~team traveled to Fort Myers, Florida where it took on a host of Division HI teams finishing with a 5-2 record, before traveling to Norwich, Connecticut last weekend to play the Trinity Bantams for a triple-header, which saw the Mules lose three hard-fought games. In Florida, Colby lost its first game to Rowan 5-6. The Mules built a 5-2 lead before Rowan mounted a comeback beginning in the fifth inning. Despite the loss, Kevin Presbrey '03 pitched six full innings, stuck out seven, and gave up only eight hits to a strong Rowan team that had gone 8-2 prior to the match-up. "We played defensively spot free baseball," said Presbrey. . "I man- aged to keep the ball down and my off-speed pitch was on," he said. Colby's next two outings saw the Mules put up 30 runs, cruising past Lawrence 15-2 and Hartwick 15-10 in one action-packed day. In the first game, the Mules racked up 17 hits, scoring six runs in both the third and sixth innings. Kevin Brunelle '03 blasted a three- run home run to open up scoring for the Mules. Lucas Cummings '03 went 3-4 at the plate with two RBls. In the next game of the day, Hartwick opened up the scoring, knocking in six runs in the first inning.
