2024 OUTLOOK

”We lost a key player in Seth Luther who led our pitching staff and defense at SS. It will be hard to replace him however our current seniors and juniors are strong. We have two strong starters (Newell and Trettin) and experienced reliever (Wiegert) who will lead our team. Maldonado and Lindberg will lead our defense and offense.” - Rob Wassenaar, Head Coach
