The gamut of the Iowa Conference schedule for the Central baseball team starts this Friday, but first, they must get through rival Grinnell College for a non-conference nine-inning game today. The Dutch are trying to get some momentum after a 2 – 6 run during their Spring Break trip down in Tucson, Arizona. The Pioneers are 2 – 8 on the season, and have not had the greatest success at the plate, hitting just .285 on the year. Coach Matt Schirm was pleased with the offensive production that had some question marks after a large amount of seniors that produced last year graduated, but he says he’s more concerned with what happens when his guys take the field on defense. Today’s nine-inning contest has a first pitch scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
