Day 6: Royals/Beach
Sat, 26 Nov 2011 03:04:53 +0000
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Today was our last game of the series in the D.R. We left the hotel at 8:00 a.m., for the Royals&#39; compound. However, we weren&#39;t expecting the delay we encountered. We were on two buses, the first carrying a trailer full of the baseball equipment. The road we were traveling on was a dirt/clay road and with all the rain they&#39;ve been getting, it was extremely muddy. Needless to say, the road won. The team had to unhook the trailer and push the bus back onto the road. Then they had to drag the trailer back to meet the bus.<p><a href="http://byucougars.com/blog/m-baseball/entry/day-6-royalsbeach" target="_blank">read more</a></p>

Day 5: Red Sox/Thanksgiving
Fri, 25 Nov 2011 03:47:12 +0000
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We got on the bus at 8:00 a.m., and drove for about 40 minutes to the DR Red Sox complex. They have nice facilities with a couple of fields and dormitories for the players. Today felt like the hottest day so far that we&#39;ve had since being here. We aren&#39;t quite sure what the temp was, but it had to be in the 90s at least. Coupled with the humidity, the players were drenched in sweat within minutes. Hot day, but a great one because we won, 16-2. Lots of guys were able to contribute with runs and hits.<p><a href="http://byucougars.com/blog/m-baseball/entry/day-5-red-soxthanksgiving" target="_blank">read more</a></p>
