Eagles set to play at Ripken Experience
It will be a special Easter week break for the Kendall varsity baseball team as the Eagles will travel to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for a series of scrimmages and games at the Ripken Experience complex.
The Eagles are scheduled to have three scrimmages, two games and a number of practices while at the Ripken Experience before returning to begin the Genesee Region League season at Byron-Bergen on April 10. Before leaving the Eagles are also slated to face Barker in a non league game this Wednesday at Lyndonville at 5 p.m..
“It’s going to be good,” said Coach Tige Noni of the trip to Myrtle Beach. “It will be great. All the fields are turf so we should get a lot of work in. It should be fun.”
Leading the Eagles is the veteran senior quintet of Nate Shaw (First base), James Fox (Pitcher/Outfield), Louie Conte (Shortstop), Jacek Kwiatkowski (Third base) and Jimmie Swift (Catcher/Pitcher).
The Eagles other returnees include sophomores Nick Cole (Pitcher/First base), Vinnie D’Agustino (Second base), Jonny Conte (Outfield) and Colby Hughes (Catcher/Utility) and junior Gavin Braun (Outfield/Pitcher).
“It’s encouraging to have a veteran group like that back and we’ve have a challenging regular season schedule for them,” said Noni.
Kendall went 10-4 in the G-R and 13-5 overall last spring.
