Outlook: The Cardinals return three pitchers who saw plenty of action last year and a nice balance of players in the field, but may need more than that to break into the upper half of the NEMC.

"Our pitching and defense should be OK," says W-P coach Ed Mervyn. "For quite a few years we had some pretty decent hitting. Right now we have just a couple of good hitters, but we're working on it.

"For awhile at least we can't give up too many runs."

Seniors Mike Gusler and Baron McBride each saw plenty of action last season on the mound, while senior Tim Bradburn and junior Darrin Scoles will fill most of the remaining innings.

Also returning are outfielders Kyle Clare and Phil Cotoio as well as infielders Brett DeBoever and Shane Osier, Bradburn and Gusler will also see time in the outfield, while Scoles and McBride also play on the infield.
