Looking to keep the momentum from last spring’s, league and sectional championship season, the Kendall baseball team returns a large veteran contingent.

That veteran group includes seniors Nic Cole (pitcher), Vinnie D’Agostino (shortstop), Jonny Conte (second base), Mikey Colucci (outfield) and Adrian Bucci along with juniors CJ D’Agostino (first base/pitcher) and Jacob Abrams, sophomores Andrew Cole and Sammy Conte (third base) and freshman Andrew D’Agostino (catcher).

“The experience we have is huge,” said Coach Tige Noni. “If we can stay healthy we should have a real good season.”

The Eagles graduation losses included pitcher Gavin Braun and catcher Colby Hughes.

Kendall went 12-0 in the league and 23-2 overall last year as the Eagles won both the Genesee Region League and Section V Class C2 championships and well as the Section V Class C state qualifier before bowing in the Far West Regional.

The Eagles are slated to open the season with a non league game at Barker on March 25 and then spend the Easter break week in Myrtle Beach for a series of scrimmages and games. The G-R opener is slated for April 9 at home against Elba.
