A crowd of 150 people came out to George Dobson Field at Spring Lake Park Sunday night to watch the first official practice for the Texas A&M University-Texarkana Eagles. Sunday nights practice was the first ever official baseball practice in school\u2019s history. Before the baseball team took the field, the athletic department and campus life hosted a cookout in which students and the community could come and enjoy a bite to eat and meet the players of the team.<\/p>\n

Texarkana, TX is one of the biggest baseball communities in all of Texas and everyone in the community is ecstatic about having baseball back in their community after Texarkana College discontinued their program a few years ago. There was a great mixture of support from the TAMUT student body and the Texarkana community.<\/p>\n

The grills started firing up at 7:30 p.m. and the student body\/community started arriving at George Dobson field. As the smell of burgers lingered throughout the field, players and coaches of the TAMUT Baseball team greeted and mingled with the community. The TAMUT Baseball team started their practice at 8:15 with a short inter squad scrimmage that followed.<\/p>\n

The TAMUT Eagles baseball team played well during their scrimmage and everyone in the stands was pleased at the quality of baseball that was played. There were a lot of great plays made and everyone was hitting the ball well. During the scrimmage, volunteers from the crowd participated in games in between each inning.<\/p>\n

The TAMUT Eagles baseball team will play their first game on January 29 at 3p.m. at George Dobson Field right here in Texarkana, TX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
