As the 2010 Green River Community College baseball season comes to a close, the Gators didn't get as far as hoped, ending the season with a loss at the Western Regionals, and a record of 21-18.
With the next year not so far away, the Gators are ready to make it even further than they did this year.
Initially, the Gators were off to a hot start. They were able to carry their fire into the middle of the season, and had prospects of holding strong until the end; regardless of their loss at Regionals, the Green River baseball team had a solid season.
With a glimmer of next year's season in sight, the Green River Gators will be looking to capitalize on what they did well this season. The team hopes to land some new talent, including skilled individuals such as Cody Hebner and Damon Porter, who will help the Gators push past top dogs such as Tacoma and Lower Columbia in their West Division.
Having finished third twice in the last three seasons, the Gators have no doubt in their minds that they can make a strong push and force themselves to the top next year. Behind the core pitchers Jake Shadle and David Macey, the Gators are loaded with players ready to make some noise.
Returning stars such as Zack Gagnon, Tyler Conklin, Connor Cook and Corwin Patis will give the line-up the necessary power to dominate the hardcore teams looking to stop the Gators from getting to the promise land for 2011.
Overall, the Gators are pleased with the progress they have made and young talent they have found. Coach Matt Acker has done an excellent job coaching the athletes in the right direction and will continue to do so as more keep coming to play ball with the fighting Gators.
