This past week has been tough on our team. Scott Hoium begain the week on a high note as he received the Lunch Pail for the first time. Scott has been working extremely hard this year and definitely deserved the honor of carrying the Lunch Pail with him. He has been taking extra cuts, pushing around some extra weight in the weight room (and consequently losing some from his own frameJ) and doing above and beyond what has been expected of him. Well deserved Shades, well deserved.
One a more somber note, the Twin Ports lost a prominent baseball figure this past week. St. Scholastica’s head baseball coach John Baggs lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday morning. Though many on our team have never met him, his impact on our team can be seen every day. It’s common knowledge that Coach Morgan played for him and coached with Mr. Baggs, and alot that Coach teaches is from Baggs’ tutelage. His legacy will live on through Coach Morgan in our program as we build our own baseball identity and culture here at UWS. May God bless Collen, Maddux, and Josie. We are so sorry about your loss!
On a lighter note, we look forward to seeing some fresh faces at the Metrodome next Wednesday when we play Hamline at 11:45am. Take care and God Bless.

It has been fun getting players' perspectives on the season so far. Keep it coming! Thank you for remembering Coach Baggs. He was an incredible coach and mentor to Eddy. This week was tough, but knowing we have support from the team helps. He will be in our hearts forever. Isaac and I are looking forward to cheering for the Yellowjackets at the Dome on Wednesday! Play your best. Good luck! Jessica, Coach's wife
