Tim Palmer
Ithaca Head Varsity Baseball Coach reports
I just finished my third season. we were 23-10 overall 14-6 in league play (second place).
We met expectations. We’re still young. We only had 1 senior (Brady Paradise). Of the losses, there’s nobody that I wouldn’t play again.
Highlight- Improving our record against every league opponent from previous year. Going 4-1 in extra inning games.
Challenging/disappointing moments:
Losing Brady to injury during Districts hurt a lot.
Brady Paradise senior: 63.2 IP 7-2 1.979 ERA Named All League and Team MVP
Connor McMurphy Jr named All League, All District, All Regional (All State doesn’t come out until next week)
