Rain cancelled the first day of games for the Baseball Academy at Spring Training.  The players and staff spend the day at Jack Russell Stadium going over strategies and taking some extra swings in the indoor batting cages.  That extra day of preparation paid off as the Baseball Academy split the next days games on Day 4 of Spring Training.  In the first game of the double header Nick Smiley was solid on the mound going almost 5 innings in his first start, Mitch St. Laurent got the win on the mound and Codey Shrider came in for the save.  Codey Shrider also had a base hit in the game.  Tylar Heigh had 2 base hits, Cory Scammell had 2 base hits with a triple and Ryan Kosolofski had an outstanding defensive game.  In second game of the double header the Baseball Academy had some defensive problems as the rust showed.  Michael Williams went 3 innings on the mound in his first start, Dean Olson went 2 innings on the mound and Delaney Brown went 1 inning to close out the game on the mound.  Cory Scammell continued to collect base hits and Lee Spicer hit a double in the game.  Garrett Cyr and Tony Olson played outstanding defensive in the game but it was not enough as the Baseball Academy dropped game #2 of the double header.
