PHS Baseball Returns 10




The Pettisville baseball season opens Monday, March 27, at Hicksville, and for Paul Bishop, head coach, returning experience is the key to this year’s success.

The Blackbirds finished 4- 12, 4-6 in the Buckeye Border Conference last year.

Losing just two letterwinners, Evan King and Christian Barhite, “We have ten returning players with significant varsity experience,” said Bishop.

“But our pitching has suffered due to injuries. We will need to have guys with littleto no experience step up.

“Even with all the returning players, we still need the young guys and new guys to compete with the upperclassmen for playing time.”

Back are seniors Nate Hartzler; Eli Norr; John Rufenacht, BBC honorable mention; juniors Dillon King, BBC honorable mention; Landon Roth, First Team All-BBC; Justin Rupp; Preston Stevens; and sophomores Austin Horning; Devin Beltz; and Logan Rufenacht.

Assisting with coaching duties is John Horning.
