Final Comments:
Last year's MAC Championship and District Finalist season gave our group much needed experience. This season we will bring back a full team of contributors from last year as well as our entire pitching rotation. Our goal is clear this season; to defend our MAC Championship and have continued success in the end of year tournament.
