"I believe as a program we are extremely excited about this upcoming season." Said head baseball coach Mike Rocco. "We are fortunate enough to have a good balance of returning, experienced players, as well as a talented mixture of underclassmen and transfers. We play a very challenging schedule and I am looking forward to seeing how the team carries momentum over after a successful fall season."
Overall, Assumption is scheduled for 15 home games and 49 games overall as the team is under the direction of fifth-year head coach Mike Rocco.
