With the Fort Hays Baseball season starting on Feb. 4th<\/sup>, the team will head to Golden, Colo. to compete against Colorado School of Mines. With some senior returners such as Grant Schmidt, who was ninth-best in the MIAA in home runs a season ago, and Jacob Ensz, a left-handed pitcher, the Tigers hope to keep making improvements this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the team having struggles in years past, the Tigers hope to show better results this upcoming season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe players had a bad taste in their mouth after last year, and they are ready to move on and show what the program can really do,\u201d Head Coach Jerod Goodale said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Goodale, the key to success this year for the Tigers will be consistency and playing as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A big focus for the Tigers this season according to junior outfielder, Jaedyn Traut is playing for one another, which is a big part of the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven though it is an individual sport stats-wise, if we play as a team I think that\u2019ll help us go a long way this year,\u201d Traut said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last season the Fort Hays baseball team went 11-22 in the MIAA, but with the help of returning 5th-year seniors, the team looks forward to playing some tough teams such as Central Missouri, as well as Northwest Missouri State and improving overall as a team.
