MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The Mount Aloysius Baseball team has got off to a flawless start on the field, opening their spring trip with a 3-0 record. They have fought some weather and still managed to produce results on the field.
The Mounties opened the week with a 6-4 victory over McDaniel, on Saturday. Four different Mounties delivered two hits in the contest, whileÂ
