Class: Division 1
League: Western Wayne Athletic Conference
Head Coach: Steve Popp
2013 Overall Record: 18-8

TOP PLAYERS

Jared Hagan (senior) ... Hit .365 as a junior with nine doubles. Also threw 30+ innings as a junior.
Colton Dawdy (senior) ... Hit .319 as a junior.
Jacob Ledesma (junior) ... Hit .311 as a sophomore.
Tanner Doumont (senior) ... Threw 40+ innings as a junior and had a sub-2.00 ERA.

OUTLOOK:

The Chargers should be competitive this year. Although they lost the major contributions of Badih "Dee" Jawad (.403 BA, 3 HR, 55 IP, 1.78 ERA), who is now playing at local Madonna University, they do return two solid pitchers in Jared Hagan and Tanner Doumont. Jacob Ledesma is primed for a breakout year after hitting .311 as a sophomore.
