FLCC Baseball Releases 2021 Schedule
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – The Finger Lakes Community College Baseball team has released their spring 2021 schedule. The team will play double-headers starting in March.
Just one year ago, the Lakers’ baseball team was getting ready for their annual season-opening spring trip to Myrtle Beach. A day before they were expected to leave, their trip was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly afterwards, the season was cancelled. This truly was a devastating loss to our Lakers, who had prepared since early January to compete.
FLCC is among 21 out of 30 SUNY community colleges returning to competition in the spring. This decision was made after a year of hard work in setting up health and safety protocols to protect our student- athletes. This was a team effort from the NJCAA, Region III, and FLCC.
After a year of uncertainty, head coach Sean Marren is more than ready for the season to begin.
“Words can’t even begin to describe the excitement I have for our student-athletes,” stated Marren. “Though saddened that 2020 will always be the season that never was, I am happy for the members of our program, that we can turn the page to our 2021 season.”
There were times this academic year when Marren wasn’t sure if his team would be able to take the field or suffer the fate they did a year ago.
“At times we weren’t sure if we would have a season, but this group of young men continued to push themselves to get ready even through all of the uncertainty,” said Marren. “We all truly feel blessed to be back out there!”
Following NYS guidelines for intercollegiate athletic competitions, spectators are not permitted at this time. FLCC is currently working on live streaming video and providing live stats for home events. For more information, visit flccathletics.com or FLCC Athletics social media accounts.
Coach Marren said it was a total team effort getting the team to the point where they’ll be competing this spring.
“I want to give a big thank you to our administration for their support, and a special shoutout to our Director of Athletics, Samantha Boccacino, for her leadership throughout this whole pandemic.”
The Lakers’ first games of 2021 will be at home when they welcome SUNY Adirondack to campus at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 13th for a doubleheader.
