The baseball team finished off the season with a 4-10 record, placing sixth in the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association (PAISAA) conference. Despite their record, the team grew together, laying the foundation for future seasons.
“The team performed well. It was a difficult situation with some key losses from last year’s team, along with an entirely new coaching staff. A lot of young players stepped up and performed very well,” Head Coach Jack McCann said. “The team demonstrated a great deal of teamwork as the season progressed.”
The team enjoyed some major wins throughout the season.
“A first-round playoff win against Friends Central, who beat us earlier in the year, was a major highlight for the team. One team achievement I was proud of was the way the group rallied together towards the end of the year to clinch a playoff spot and win the first playoff game they played,” Coach McCann said. “Overall, it was a difficult year, but they stayed in it and worked hard every game.”
Sixth Former Zac Fuscaldo believes the team’s record doesn’t tell the full story.
“From where we started out early in the season to where we ended, I believe that we did a great job.”

“Our performance this year was better than our record showed. We started out a little slow, having to adjust to a completely new coaching staff. As the weeks went on, the team began to mesh very well. Both with one another as players, but also with the coaches,” Fuscaldo said. “Our record could have looked very different, as there were many games that came down to the last inning.”
Fuscaldo is proud of how the team finished the season.
“Unfortunately, we came up short of our ultimate goal, but from where we started out early in the season to where we ended, I believe that we did a great job,” he said.
Fuscaldo feels that the coaches have made a very positive impact on the team.
“[The coaches] truly wanted to get to know us as people,” Fuscaldo said. “When the coaches of a team actually know the people that they are coaching, and not just their name and position, [it] helps the whole team operate and build camaraderie.”
