Western Shore buildings seeking baseball proof glass in preventative alternative window design.
The Western Shore buildings on campus have seen several broken windows in the buildings surrounding Athey Park.
The dorms usually provide an easy spectating point for students to watch some Shoremen baseball, until things got a little too heated.
In the most recent outing for the squad, so many home runs were blown out of Athey Park, that Buildings and Grounds were swiftly overrun with requests to fix broken windows in people’s bedrooms.
“My groupme was blowing up, luckily I actually unmuted it and was able to see the complaints and file what felt like a thousand work orders,” an anonymous western shore residential assistant said.
The baseball team recently took care of business against rival Big Brothers of the Rich Technical College, in a 42-0 dismantlement.
WC improves to 130013-5 all time against BBRTC. All previous contests have been held in Chestertown Md.
What was described by various fans in attendance as “nukes” were seen flying past the outfield barrier, and right into people’s rooms.
Additionally, several of the campus squirrels have found their way into people’s rooms, and throughout the apartment style living areas.
“I came back from class and found a giant hole in my window with like, five squirrels running into my room. One of them was trying to get into my shower and I did not appreciate it,” one Western Shore occupant said.
The squirrels proved to be a menace to more than one stdent with several reports detailing vicious vermin.
“Those ridiculous rodents have been on one recently,” senior Sarah Poirier said.
Poirier continued to have a run of bad luck during gametime. She was additionally hit by another homer sailing right into her window.
“I was asleep in my room as I was so stressed and needed a little nap after the first ball broke my window. To my shock, a second ball sailed through and knocked me in the head which caused me to eat that concussion,” Poirier said.
Other students brought couches from their living rooms outside to watch the game in comfort. Some of these students would yell the word “NUKE” when the Shoremen lined up at bat as they were slamming balls out of the park.
In total, several windows were damaged in need of full replacement, while some chose to keep the balls as souvenirs.

To keep momentum going, the team is hoping to host Sisters of Mercy University for the next game, one that should break more windows.
