Final Comments:
Although we have a fairly young team, 10 of our players are Freshmen and Sophomores, we do have a lot of experience gained from last year. Our pitchers are young and will be called upon to throw a lot of innings this year. Defensively and offensively, we should be solid. We play in the tough Crown Conference which will prepare us for the tournament. Looking forward to heading out to Myrtle Beach on 3/23 to get some games in.
