OUTLOOK:  
 
After a tough 2013 season, Mansfield Senior hopes to grow and improve on the diamond.  The Tygers bring back seven returning starters, with Curtis French and Mitch Nixon leading the way.  As a freshman, French finished the season with a .408 batting average, and will look to improve on those numbers in 2014.  Nixon put up like numbers and was named to 2nd Team All-District.  Add in three strong senior ballplayers with Reese, Cushing, and Henderson making the Tygers a formidable opponent in the Ohio Cardinal Conference.
