Conference Record: OCC Central, 13-2 (1st)

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Leadership
  • Defense
  • Pitching

Coach Outlook: "We are returning a great core of players, with great Senior leadership, and some talented younger players eager to compete.  We are looking to compete for a 3rd straight OCC Central title and make a tournament run when that time comes around."
