Daily Word: Maine Baseball Plays BC Tonight - AmericaEast.com

New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provided links to previews, recaps, features and exclusive coverage.

We’ve only got one game on the schedule tonight but it is no ordinary game.

The Maine baseball team heads south to meet up with ACC foe Boston College at Hadlock Field, home of the Boston Red Sox Double-A affiliate Portland Sea Dogs. The two teams get underway at 6 p.m. this evening as the Black Bears make an appearance in the southern part of the state.

This is the first time Maine has played at Hadlock since the 1998 season when it beat UMass by the score of 21-8.

The Bangor Daily News ran a piece on the game tonight speaking with head coach Steve Trimper about the game and what it means to play at a such a great venue.

“We’re really excited to play in the southern part of the state,” Trimper told BDN’s Pete Warner. “Playing an ACC school is going to be a great challenge. Coupled with that, we’re playing at a great stadium in Hadlock Field.”

You can check out the rest of Warner’s article, here and make sure you get all the prep you need for this game from Maine’s official preview.
