WORCESTER, MA — The Assumption College Department of Athletics has announced that Benjamin Lambert, of Saco, has earned a coveted spot on the 2017 Assumption College baseball team. Lambert, Class of 2020, will compete during the Greyhounds’ spring season, which began in late February when the team traveled to the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, NC, for a four-game series, followed by nine games during their annual spring break trip to Florida.
“As a program, we are very excited about the start of the 2017 season,” said fourth-year head baseball coach Mike Rocco. “Being able to go down to Cary, NC, and Florida for spring break are great opportunities for us to go out and compete against some competitive programs.”
Of its 50 schedulued games, Assumption will play 19 of them at home. In 2016, the Hounds posted a 14-15 record (19-25 overall) in the Northeast-10 Conference, which earned Assumption its first postseason berth since 2009.
