He also cited good hitting and good defense. When talking about the hitting, Meador mentioned the team has had six players batting solidly over .300 (Danbury .500, Grieves .438, Glascock .421, Sankovich .353, Ted Robertson .345, and Holmes .333).

Senior Paul Feinman and sophomore Ross Lynde have been the backbone of the attack with help from junior Rob
Barnard, freshman Andy "Tic Toe" Owens, and junior Bruce Thomasson.
The defense, which suffers from inexperience, has improved since the beginning of the season and should improve as the season progresses.
