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.
