2020 OUTLOOK:
The CIML will be as tough as ever this summer. We are excited about the offense we return from last season but will need to replace some key pitching. We really like our offense's ability to hit for power and also run the bases. We will need some kids to step up on the mound and we have some kids working hard and excited to embrace that challenge.” Head Coach Troy Rood
