As the weather continues to heat up, the bats of the baseball team are only getting hotter, while the pitching continues to throw smoke. The pitching has been there. The hitting has been there. Just not both at the same time. Calvin has seen flashes of brilliance in both facets of their game, but cannot find consistency in either area.

It is great for the team to know that whoever is out on the mound, that they will be very competitive and give us a good chance to win. Calvin has a full house when it comes to pitchers, but they are anchored by senior Aaron Wiers and junior Mike Ott. Thirty years ago this past Tuesday a team of U.S. table tennis players traveled to China and held exhibitions with Chinese players.
