1. The baseball team huddles together for a cheer before heading into a game that they are determined to win. The tight-knit feeling of the team is palpable, according to Brennan Birn (11). He said, “the baseball team quickly became one of my favorite communities at Priory.”
2. Brennan flashes a grin at his teammates while on deck. One of his favorite aspects of participating in baseball is the people he gets to play with and the moments when “players aren’t playing for themselves, [they] are playing for the people next to [them].”
3. In the sunny spring weather, Sam Putney (12) prepares to pitch in a game. The team greatly depends on the pitcher, especially during the particularly tough innings.
4. Milan Pandey (11) swings with determination while at bat as coaches and his fellow players cheer him on from the dugout. Even though he “doesn’t consider [himself] the best player, [he] still [loves] the sport, especially being able to play it in a less competitive atmosphere.”
5. During a particularly tense inning, Joseph Casente (11) focuses on the pitcher and player at bat. Andrew Dodson (9) explains that, outside of baseball, he
doesn’t get to interact with many Juniors or Seniors like Joseph. To Andrew, one of the best parts of baseball is “being able to play the sport [he loves] with friends from school.”
6. The Priory baseball team leans on the fence in the dugout, intently watching the game. Vincent Johnson (10), Milan Pandey (11), Joseph Casente (11), and Brennan
Birn (11) support their teammates, cheering them on during the high points and low points throughout the season.
