Season Update

The season as a whole was a good one.  The Orioles finished the regular season at 11 wins and only 3 losses.  The results at the State Tournament were disappointing for the returning state champs.  They lost to South Suburban in the first round after committing 18 errors.  The consolation round game followed the same path with the Orioles creating another 10 errors.  As always, the team put out a great effort and a 11-3 season is something to be proud of.
