I am just a baseball fan. It doesn’t matter which level you are talking about, I like to follow it and/or watch it if I can. Division 2 baseball will begin play on January 31st. I will be watching the University of Tampa for their 3-game opener on Friday-Sunday against Georgia College to defend their 2024 National D2 Championship. The Spartans finished 52-8 last year and head coach Joe Urso hopes to exceed that this year.
