Head Coach: Pete Lamerato
Division: I
2018 Record: 25-13
Conference Record: 16-8 3rd Place
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Speed
  • Leadership
  • Defense
  • Depth

Coach Outlook: "We have a very strong junior and sophomore class that is coming up and should help fill the vacancies from the starting lineup of last year. We have a lot of pitching depth but no star on the mound. Lots of good athletes that can play multiple positions and we should have a very good offensive team."
