Baseball Intrasquad photo gallery
The Rice baseball team began its spring practices this past weekend with a series of intrasquad games. Pitchers went up to a maximum of two innings with 20 pitches per inning, and hitters got about three at-bats per game. Some of the stars of the weekend included sophomore pitcher Matt Canterino, who pitched two perfect innings on Friday, and junior catcher Dominic DiCaprio, who homered twice. The Thresher's Martin Zhang captured some of the action from Sunday's game.

MMA and milk miles: Rice students engage with sports
It’s not uncommon to find yourself walking to Reckling Park to watch the baseball team or to the recreational fields to play soccer. However, Division I and intramural sports are only a sliver of what the greater Rice community takes part in. From cricket to mixed martial arts to milk miles (yes, milk miles), students engage in a variety of sports that are a testament to their past pastimes, new endeavors and the need to destress.
Reflecting on four years: a heartfelt farewell to the Thresher
As I sit down to write this farewell column, I can’t help but feel a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. It feels like just yesterday that I nervously clicked the “Join Meeting” button on Zoom in early August of my freshman year to express my interest in joining the sports section of the Rice Thresher. Daniel Schrager and Ben Baker-Katz, the sports editors in my freshman year, welcomed me with open arms, encouraging me to write for the Thresher. Little did I know that this initial encounter would mark the beginning of an incredible journey that has shaped my college experience in ways I could have never imagined.
