Baseball - 2010 Season Preview

Ryan Milligan, who hit .281 last year, is the top returning hitter for the Bears.

There will be plenty of new faces for the Coast Guard Academy baseball team as the Bears return just two starters to the everyday lineup and welcome 15 newcomers to the diamond for the 2010 season.

Coast Guard was 7-23 overall last season and 2-10 in the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). The Bears returned home from Florida with a 4-4 record, but would win just three more games the rest of the season, including dropping all 11 home games.

The Bears will look to finish over .500 for the first time since 2002 and head coach C.C. Grant in his fourth season, will count on the one-two pitching punch of junior tri-captain Jesse Karr (2-4, 6.79) and freshman Derek Petty to lead the way.

“I’m very happy with the top of our rotation in Jesse and Derek, who will get the ball each weekend in conference play. Jesse finished very strong for us last year and Derek, if he develops each year, has the ability to be as good as any pitcher that we have had,” said Grant.
