The baseball team completed is annual Myrtle beach trip In fine fashion, mounting a spirited comeback in its final game of the trip. The Bears won two, lost two and tied one against national competition. They faced teams from Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

The Bears are in good shape heading into IAC competition this week, compiling a 5–1 –1 record in its preseason games prior to the myrtle beach trip. The Bears defeated Whitman, Flint Hill, Walter Johnson, Wootton, and Maret, while tying BCC and losing a close one to the Potomac school.

The Bears have one more game, Monday against the Heights School at Shirley Povich field in cabin John Park at 4 PM, before commencing their IAC season.  IAC competition begins with a game at Saint Stephens/Saint Agnes on Tuesday, followed by a home game against the Saints on Thursday.

Seniors Randy Bednar, Scott Prutting, Drew Whalen, and Mike Dziak have led the Bears.  Senior pitcher Louis Eisen has also picked up 2 wins in relief. Juniors Ryan Fruehwirth, Xander DeNovio and Zach Werhan have also made substantial contributions.  The Bears are also fortunate to have a strong sophomore class of Will O’Shea, Dane Camphausen, Will Barufka, Jed Rosenberg, Kit Dziak and Jake Davidson.
