Junior, Bo Allen, steps up to the mound ready to pitch in the preseason opener against Jesuit. “Well for me personally, this game went really well cause I found the strike zone with my curve ball which is important for future games,” Allen said. “However, the team is more important for the fact we didn’t win means that overall, we did not do well.” (Bella Johnson)

Bella Johnson — The team huddled after one of their innings against the Jesuit Tigers on Thursday, Feb. 15. This game was the second preseason opener for the team.

Senior, Rocco Demarinis, opened as pitcher for the team for the first four innings. “The highlight if the game for me was just being out there and having fun with my teammates,” Demarinis said. “We didn’t play our best, but we did have a lot of positives and it was a preseason.” (Bella Johnson)
