2020 OUTLOOK:
On paper, we lose a lot of innings on the mound and at-bats at the plate so we have a lot of unproven guys heading into the spring. Our kids made a run to the Legion State Tourney last summer so many of them picked up a lot of meaningful and pressure-packed experience with that squad. We return two of our all-conference starters on the mound from 2019, so they should give us a chance to compete most days.” Head Coach Shannon Blansette
