The Baldwin softball team was just happy to reach the state semifinals last year. With a return trip this season, there's a much different mindset for the Indians.
The Indians face Calvary Christian at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Legends Way Ball Field in Clermont, a rematch of last year’s final four game. Just because the opponent is familiar doesn’t mean things feel the same. Baldwin was a state semifinal novice a season ago
The Indians had an unforgettable season in 2022, rolling to a 26-3 record and winning a regional title. For Shields, it was a major accomplishment in and of itself. It took 11 seasons for her to clear that hurdle. The benefit of going down to Clermont now is experience. The Indians lost a 5-3 heartbreaker in eight innings last year to Calvary Christian. The silver lining in that loss — Baldwin’s roster was loaded with underclassmen.
Those players all got to experience that trip before. Shields said that trip to Clermont last year definitely helps with nerves this time around. After they’ve been out on the same field they’ll be on Tuesday, there won’t be the newness of a final four trip this time around.
