What to Watch For

A very balanced club that should be able to win in multiple ways.  Strengths on the mound and behind the dish, along with a strong infield presence should keep the Vikings in most games.  Coach Shankle likes the lineup he will put together as well.  Seven players return from a nineteen win season.
