2018 OUTLOOK:
“We return a lot of players off of a NWSC championship team. It will be tough to replace Sam Riola, not only as a player but also a leader. We have kids that love baseball and show up ready to work every day. It makes the season a lot fun! We will need to find some innings on the mound from some new guys.” Head Coach Eric Feigum
