Any additional information: Losing 7 out of 9 in the starting lineup is going to be tough to replace. Experience plays a huge factor in baseball and the players filling in those spots are going to have to pick things up quick. We have a couple 3 year players coming back that we will look to for their leadership and as an example for the younger guys. Hope to compete in a tough CCAA East division and compete for a section title come May.
