Halfway through the season, Oxon Hill’s Boys’ Varsity Baseball team record is 1 and 5.

“We aren’t being aggressive and getting the bat on the ball so we aren’t scoring much,” says one of three team captains and starting pitcher, senior Sean Woods.

Woods and fellow team captain Jordan McDougal have been on varsity since their freshmen year.

“Being a captain is great; it is a really good feeling knowing you are someone people look up to,” says Woods.

Woods hopes to make it far into the playoffs and even have a chance at states. The team lacks a lot of experience.

“We have a lot of people on the team who haven’t played much baseball and don’t really know the game well,” Woods says. Fortunately, the team also has a strong defense and potential to make their mark this year.

“We have a lot of heart and fight but we lack timely batting,” says McDougal, who hopes to beat Roosevelt or Bowie in the playoffs this year.   Although the Clippers have had a rocky start, with their drive and determination, they are destined to finish their season on a good note!
