Coach: Lee Nile (fourth year)
Last year’s record: 5-11, lost in Western C prelim
Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Cal Dixon (SS/P), Sol Fast (C), Arthur Ryan (1B/P), Jonny Hart (OF/P); Juniors — Tristan Dyer (OF/P), Shaine White (3B), Draegan Tooker (SS/2B), Jake Davenport (OF/P).
Key losses: Jay Chenard, Ethan Boyd.
Promising newcomers: Junior — Trevor Brackley (INF); Sophomores — Seth Thomas (OF), Hunter York (2B).
Season outlook: This is the first time in Nile’s tenure the Roadrunners have more than two seniors with varsity experience, so there’s reason to think they can move up in the MVC. Dixon will be asked to replace Chenard as the leader of the pitching staff. Fast and Ryan were MVC all-star honorable mentions.
