Notable Losses

Preston Patterson .376, 10 2B, 1 HR, 34 RBI and the DH  All Region tournament team (did not play in college)

According to the Coach

This teams strength should be experience both on the mound (return top 4 pitchers) and on offense (return top 4 hitters).  With improved defense, this team has a chance to repeat as region champs and possibly make a deep state tournament run.
