2021 OUTLOOK:
“EBF won the SCC Title in 2021 for the first time. This may put a target on their back for this year, but the team still feels like there are things that can be accomplished. The Rockets return the core of their pitching staff, and a large piece to their lineup. The team should compete for another SCC title, and has ambitions to make a deep playoff run.” Head Coach Tom Hallgren
