Beech Grove (6-15)  – Coach Mark Ringham succeeds Nick Purichia (now at Danville) … graduated four seniors, including top three pitchers … six starters are gone … room for improvement … hit .226, had 5.52 ERA and .816 fielding percentage last year … definitely rebuilding … prime returnees are outfielder Collin Little, No. 1 pitcher Jalen Romine (.231; 2-1, 5.81 ERA) and junior catcher Nic Ancelet (four stolen bases) … juniors Terrice Pope and Jordan Reel complete the outfield … pitching rotation includes freshmen Garrett Esposito and Seth Walters, infield mostly new … senior Cooper Stratton has spot in lineup … visits Manual today, then hosts Mooresville Friday … home games at Sarah T. Bolton Park.

Coach’s comments: “I have had this program since February, so we are kind of behind the eight ball. We lost our top three pitchers to graduation and our best power hitter to a torn ACL. We do have good speed and good arms in the outfield. We will get a good look at what we have in our first two weeks of competition. Then we can get a set nine in our lineup when we get into conference play. We will have to create runs because we have lost some power. We are thin, but these kids have been working hard. We’re going to be looking for gradual improvement along the way until we get to sectionals.”
