As Cornell students embark on Spring Break and flock to sun-drenched beaches and swaying palm trees, the baseball team will do likewise. However, their fun in the sun will occur on the diamond against Penn St. and Pittsburgh in the Papa John’s Palm Beach Classic held in West Palm Beach, Fla. After opening up this week-long tournament Sunday, the Red will also tangle with University of Miami, Long Island University and New Jersey Institute of Technology throughout the week.
On Sunday morning, the Red (2-4, 0-0 Ivy) will battle Penn St. (3-8, 0-0 Big Ten) in the first game of a doubleheader.
