I would not be shocked if he ends up at his girlfriend's house or coming home on Saturday nights when there's no game on Sunday. That might help? It's not ideal. But, it's at least one night of sleep and avoiding Saturday night. He'll just need a plan to get through the week. (FWIW, the kid that tipped about the house also told him that he goes home just about every weekend.)
Maybe next year, after he learns his teammates, an apartment for 3 might be a better solution?
I bought a three bedroom condo for my son to live in. I told him one bedroom is mine during baseball season. I told him whatever he gets for rent for the other room pays the utility bills and for food. He made out renting my bedroom in the fall.
The irony is his roommate, teammate and good friend was the son of friends of ours when we lived in Southern CA. They were in the same Mommy and Me class until we moved. Their older sisters were the same age and preschool buddies. It was complete coincidence they were assigned as roommates freshman year.
