ST. CLOUD STATE WOULD GET THEIR
REVENGE IN GAME 2. AFTER FINISHING 12-6 IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND 1-2 IN THE SECTION TOURNAMENT LAST YEAR, THE BRAINERD WARRIORS BASEBALL TEAM RETURNS A VERY YOUNG TEAM TO TAKE THE REINS THIS YEAR. AS CLAYTON CASTLE SHOWS US, BRAINERD WILL LOOK TO PROVE PEOPLE WRONG, BEHIND ITS LEGENDARY HEAD COACH.
WARRIOR BASEBALL IS BACK IN BRAINERD AS THE TEAM GEARS UP FOR THE 2017 GRIND. THE TEAM WON ITS OPENING GAME AGAINST ALEXANDRIA, AND 700th WIN IN A WARRIORS UNIFORM AND 738th OVER ALL, PLACING HIM SECOND IN ALL TIME WINS.
YOU TRY TO TEACH THE KIDS WHAT YOU CAN IN PRACTICE, AND DURING A GAME I STAND AND WATCH AND TRY TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY. I HAVEN'T WON ANY GAMES.
>> HE'S BEEN THE HEAD COACH> BRAINERD SINCE 1973 AND SAYS THERE'S REALLY NO SECRET?C?????A LONG ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER, AND HIS TEAM LEAD BY A GROUP OF SENIORS, SIX OF WHOM SIGNED NATIONAL
LETTERS OF INTENT TODAY, AND PITCHED THROUGH 6 INNINGS OF BASEBALL. NO ONE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE YOUNG TEAM. >> AND ON THE RADAR TEAM BEATING A HIGH QUALITY TEAM. IT WAS A GOOD WIN. >> HE ALSO SAYS THAT HE HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR HIMSELF AS THE TEAM CAPTAIN. >> HOPEFULLY I GOT OFF TO A BETTER START LAST YEAR, AND STAY HOT MOST SEASONS, AND HELP OUR TEAMMATES. >> WHILE OTHERS IN THE CONFERENCE MAY LOOK DOWN ON THIS TEAM, HE BELIEVES THIS TEAM.
COULD SHOW PEOPLE WRONG IF THEY JUST FOLLOW HIS LEAD AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS. >> AND CONSEQUENTLY THE TEAMS IN OUR CONFERENCE ARE FAIRLY LOW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE MANY RETURNING GUYS. I ALWAYS HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR TEAM. HOPEFULLY WE WILL COME CLOSER TO MY EXPECTATIONS THAN EVERYBODY ELSE'S.
