2023 OUTLOOK:
"We're hoping to build off of last season's trip to the state tournament. We need to replace most of our pitching because we lost 85% of our varsity innings. We have an experienced lineup returning so the hope is that our hitting and defense will keep us in games early in the season while we figure out our pitching."
Luke Scardigli, St. Francis Head Coach
