2015 OUTLOOK
The Warriors return all of their pitching and entire starting line-up minus one player for 2015. Alta-Aurelia was young on the field the last couple year's and feels that experience should weigh heavily in their favor this season. As a group they have worked hard during the off-season and have improved in many areas. They team has above average speed, athletic position players, and versatile position players.
