Baseball and Softball Set to Return Next Week

America's pastime returns to Christendom next week, with opening day double-headers scheduled for baseball and softball. The Lady Crusaders will hit the field first on Tuesday, taking on Trinity University, while the Crusaders will make their long-awaited return to the diamond on Friday against Central Penn. Both sets of games will be held at Front Royal's Bing Crosby Stadium.

The Crusaders will be playing their first baseball games after a three year hiatus, celebrating St. Patrick's Day in a new way when they hit the field on Friday. The 18-man roster will compete under a new, three-man coaching staff, with all involved eager to leave their mark on Christendom's expanding athletic department. Their first game will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by a second at 7:00 p.m. The Crusaders will then hit the field again the following day at Bing Crosby, taking on Penn State Schuylkill at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.

Coming off a second consecutive winning season, the Lady Crusaders will enter their third year under a new head coach and with a 15-woman roster. The Lady Crusaders will aim to keep their winning season streak alive during their opening double-header, playing Trinity at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. Following those games, the Lady Crusaders will play again on Saturday, also taking on Penn State Schuykill at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
