East Wake

2016 Stats

2017 Outlook

What to Watch For:
Coach Piercy and the Warriors return the top five hitters in their order and over 95% of their innings pitched from 2016. Four college commits in the senior class should keep this group moving in the right direction. The lineup may lack the quick strike ability and will have to show some feel for extending at-bats and executing the offense.
