Coaches comment: “Pitching will be a strength with Keaveney, Piwnicki and Schimoler taking regular turns on the mound. As always, pitching and defense will determine how far we go. Offensively, we return a lineup that was very productive last year and able to do many of the little things right — moving
runners, running the bases, hitting with runners in scoring position, etc. We will need to do all of that and much more this year as everyone in the league has solid pitching and scoring runs will be at a premium every game. The competition in New Hampshire Division I will be very tough again this year. Londonderry, Pinkerton, Bedford, Goffstown, and Dover are among several teams expected to be among the top teams.“
