Outlook:

“Our team will be very competitive this year. The work ethic of these guys is great, and the players attitudes are a lot more positive. Last year we beat ourselves and would get down. In most of our losses, we would have one bad inning. We have been focusing a lot on being as clean defensively as possible. If would can avoid giving extra outs, we will be very successful. We have 11 seniors and we are returning eight players who saw significant starting time last year. With the experience that we have and some of the younger pitching prospects, I feel that we are going to make some noise in the league and hopefully the post-season.”
