What to Watch For:

A good offensive club in ’16, the Falcons return their top 9 hitters in 2017.  There are several ways for this team to score and they should be exciting to watch this year.  Coach Brown’s team only committed 18 errors last year, again returning the core.  The offense and defense should allow the pitching staff to mature throughout the year.
