St. Mike's hosted Adelphi for its 2011 home opener on April 9. SMC fell behind 2-0 in the first inning of Game 1, but kept battling throughout and had a chance to win it in their final at bat, but fell 3-1. The between game ceremony honoring Raina Jensen '06, a former Purple Knight softball pitcher who was killed by a drunk driver in the offseason, was very poignant and touching. Click here for photos from the ceremony honoring Raina. It was a fine tribute in the true family spirit of St. Mike's. Adelphi found its groove in the 2nd game, rolling to an 8-0 win as SMC moved to 2-14 on the season. Despite the losses, you can see this team has talent -- and it was great to see Kate's former teammates and their families. I look forward to seeing them play again this season!
