When taking a walk in Missouri, it’s hard not to break a sweat. Temperatures are regularly in the high 90s, and the humidity adds to the sweltering heat.

Some Tiger athletes have found a unique escape from the harsh midwest sun: summer baseball. One of these athletes is Trey Harris.

Harris, a rising junior, is playing for the Harwich Mariners in Massachusetts, where the temperature rarely reaches 75 degrees. The Mariners are a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League, widely considered the nation’s top summer league.

The temperature isn’t the only difference between the Cape and Missouri.
