Adversity is no stranger to the PC varsity baseball team. Starting off the season with an 0-7 record through one of the toughest schedules in North Jersey, the Paladins have fought back to bring their record up to 5-11.
Time is running out on the team's hope for a state tournament bid, which will be judged through games up until Friday, May 11. Although there is mounting pressure on the team to win the next three games to help its state bid, the team has kept a positive outlook on making the state tournament and finishing the season strong.
Production by key role players has kept the team alive, and the Paladins are beginning to tighten their game up back to the way they played when they hit their four game winning streak. With some great play in the next week, hopefully the Paladins will be chosen to return to the state tournament.
