The Rangers’ Varsity Baseball Team is ready to begin the season in a new league this year.  While the team played in Mid Wach B last year, an alteration in divisional alignments moved the Rangers up to Mid Wach A for the upcoming season.  The competition in Mid Wach A is tough, but the Rangers are full of hope for the 2013 season.  The team finished 9-11 last year, but the record of last year’s team is not necessarily a great indication of how the team will do this year.  Westborough graduated Reid Garrity, Matt Shunney, Ryan Venditti, and Will Ashton from last year’s team, which should have a major impact on their success.

Despite the loss of leadership from last year’s seniors, young talent is prevalent on the 2013 Rangers’ squad; sophomore Connor Fitzgerald, as well as juniors Kevin Blackney and Scott Erickson, add depth and young talent to the team.  Some key components to this year’s squad include senior captains Mark McCauley, John Stanton, and Greg Alves, who look to provide necessary leadership for the Rangers this season.  Coach Kittredge is excited about the season, and is especially interested in how Westborough will fair in Mid Wach A.
