Outlook:  “As usual, we are looking to compete in the very tough Suburban One League.We are looking to play good defense with Nick Mulvey at Shortstop anchoring the infield  and Joe Benedetti leading  the outfield. Handling the catching duties this year will be senior Jerry Crespo. Our pitching staff will throw strikes and be very competitive. Heading the staff will be three-year starter Brandon Wermuth along with experienced senior Chris Reyes. We lost a ton of hitting last year, and we will need a lot of younger guys to step up. We will be counting on senior Nick Mulvey again to provide the hitting ( .380 last year) along with junior outfielder  Bill Kohler and senior Brandon Wermuth. I am looking forward to this season. We have a great group of kids this year who really works hard and their goals are set high.”
