2017 SEASON OUTLOOK
"I believe we will be very competitive this spring with the amount of experience that we have coming back. We have our top 3 pitchers back from last year and also the nucleus of line-up. If and when we play solid defense we can be very good. I am looking for our offense production to pick up this year, so we can win many more ball games. We have a lot of upside with this team, but it will come down to how hard we work and how our leadership develops." - Head Coach Don Kiviniemi
