with the weather so cold and snowy, and even if it turns warm today, Coach Brewer said the field would not ready to play on at Marietta hopefully they will pick up some games in Fla in early March

The Etta Express got off to  a strong start, beating Rhodes 3-0.
Junior RH Mark Williams threw a CG- 7 inning 2 hitter, with 8 K's and
1 BB.

DH Chris Beatty lead the Pioneers with 2 hits of 6 total, and
SS Tim Saunders went 1 for 2 with 2 SB's.

The stage is now set for early season showdown at Marietta, on March 26th between #1 Wooster, and #9 Marietta.

Marietta has all pitchers returning from last year, and also has CF Tony Piconke-
the leading hitter from last years team returns as well, but the Express must 3 infield starters.  Should be a great game- am looking forward to it a lot.

BTW- by looking for Wooster's schedule- has not yet been posted. Does anyone
know when it might be out?
