The Eastern baseball team is start- ing its 2017 season soon, and the Panthers hope to earn themselves a little redemption from last year. After finishing with a 15-39 re- cord, redshirt junior Frankie Perrone said that after a long pre-season, they have gotten better at every facet of their game. “Our offense looks promising,” Perrone said. “But I think we have made our biggest strides in our pitch- ing. We have a lot of talent on the pitching staff this year and a few guys who can be make or break for us.” Senior Matt Dunavant said that Eastern’s pitching has improved im- mensely from last year, due to extra experience from younger members of the team. “Last year we were young and this year we won’t have that excuse,” Du- navant said. “We are really looking to take the next step. We brought in a lot of junior college guys who should play a big part in helping us win games.” JUSTIN BROWN | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS Baseball seniors (L-R): Chase Thurston, Alex Cain, Matt Dunavant, Brendon Allen and Michael McCormick begin their final season under coach Anderson Aside from the improvements on when the team travels to Alabama Friday, Feb. 17. the pitching mound, Perrone said that, overall, the team has a different Dunavant had a .246 batting av- “I’m getting my arm in shape and will depend on the health of the team the team.” vibe than last year. erage last season, Allen had a 7.21 working to command my pitches to throughout the season.
