Coach: Randy Ridley (16th year)
Conference: MVC Class: C South
Last year’s record: 13-4, lost in regional quarterfinals
Returning players: Seniors — Troy Galarneau (OF), Austin Fournier (1B); Juniors — Tyler Halls (OF/P), Ryley Austin (2B/P), Nick Lerette (C).
Key losses: Kyle Bourget (P), R.J. Sargent (2B/P), Joe Philbrick (3B), Darren Ward (OF/1B).
Promising newcomers: Senior — Cam Bernier (IF); Juniors — Nate Havlicek (3B), Chris Normand (OF); Sophomores — Cole Bolduc (IF), Nick Austin (IF); Freshmen — Lucas Francis (IF/P), Nick Austin (UT).
Season outlook: Lisbon is a mix of veterans and inexperienced youth who will be asked to fill some key spots. Halls is heir apparent to Bourget as the staff ace. The Greyhounds should be strong defensively up the middle. It may be tough to duplicate last season’s mark, but Lisbon should be in the playoff hunt once again.
