Two additional players also return:senior infielder Kristen English andjunior utility player Danielle Myers(.224).

“I am happy with our squad as weprepare to open the season,” Valleesaid. “Our hitting should be betterthan last season. We have beenattacking good pitches in our scrim-mages, and that is always a goodsign. As long as our pitchers can hittheir spots, we should be successful.”Last season, FMU hit .275 as a team,while allowing opponents to hit .275.Vallee pointed to Kelley and

Wroblewski as the workhorses whowill should the majority of innings inthe pitching circle.

Behind the plate, Vallee has strengthin numbers. Returnees (senior) TaylorBarrineau, (senior) Mykah Nevin, andLopez have combined to start 89contests over the past three seasons.Welty could also see time catching aswell as at first base.
