Plenty of Talent for TC Baseball<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As he heads into his tenth season, Head Coach Vince Maiocco says he likes his ball club. And what\u2019s not to like? With hard slinging starting pitchers Kevin Little and Brandon Van Stone, Maiocco thinks that they are \u201ca pretty good 1-2 punch as far as a starting rotation,\u201d; along with freshman left handed pitcher Kendal Daniels, they should be a threat on the mound. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But the pitching core shouldn\u2019t be the only thing that opponents fear. Maiocco says that TC baseball fans should expect runs. \u201cWe\u2019ve been swinging the bat really well,\u201d says Maiocco, and in just five games, Maiocco\u2019s hitters have already touched home plate 31 times.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting center fielder Travis Tessandori, a Preseason All-State player and \u201ca player to keep a close eye on\u201d says Maiocco, leads the cougars batting line up which should be an asset for the cougars to rack up plenty of runs this season. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

With a nice combination of talented returning starters and rookies on both sides of the ball, the Cougars are definitely a fierce competitor to the opponents in their league this season. Maiocco states,\u201d There\u2019s not one team in our league that you would say is bad and you\u2019ve got to bring your A-game every single time you play, because you\u2019re not going to win ball games unless you bring it.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, Coach Maiocco and his talented baseball squad \u201cbring it\u201d this season to lead the Cougars to the State Playoffs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
