Coach: Andrew Cessario (first year)
Conference: KVAC Class: A
Last year’s record: 8-9, lost in Class A East quarterfinals
Returning players: Seniors — Michael Wong (SS/P), Kyle Ullrich (P), Ryan Bell (CF); Juniors — Brady Cusson (2B), Austin Wing (3B/P).
Key losses: Eddie Emerson, Matt Poulin, Gage Cote.
Promising newcomers: Junior — Corey Harvey (OF); Sophomore — Nick Powers (OF); Freshman — Brock Belanger (C).
Season outlook: The Blue Devils will be a young team with a young coach. Cessario who graduated from Saint Joseph’s College in 2014, inherits a team that graduated its ace, Emerson, but still returns a wealth of pitching. Ullrich, Wing and Wong all threw significant innings a year ago. Lewiston’s infield defense should be solid with an extra year of experience under its belt. Bell covers a lot of territory in center field. Lewiston will have to replace its catcher, Cote, who transferred to Monmouth. The Devils were right in the middle of a crowded and balanced KVAC field a year ago, and this team has the potential to be there again.
