Jonathan Law recently wrapped its baseball regular season with a record of 9-11.

The Lawmen ended their season with a 9-1 win over Bunnell. They won their final two games of the regular season which qualified them for the State Tournament.

“I think the season went pretty well,”  senior captain Alex Bludevich said. “We had our early struggles, but we overcame them and ended the season strong as we got ready for the state tournament.”

The Lawmen started the year 3-7 but finished out the year strong, going 6-4 down the stretch. 

“One of our goals was to make the State Tournament, and we did that,” junior Connor Woods said. “That was a big accomplishment and we are looking to go far in the tournament and compete for a State Championship”

Bludevich is a captain of this year’s team along with seniors Declan Wywoda and Hunter Hoxie. 

“I think one thing we will continue to stress next season is the mindset with which we approach practices and games,” Assistant Coach Mr. McPartland said. “Our players understand that every practice and game could be their last and when we practice and play like that, good things tend to happen. We will continue to have an aggressive mindset and look to make things happen as opposed to waiting for things to happen.”

The Lawmen intend to go far in this year’s Class M playoffs, and next year, they hope to improve their regular season record too.

“This schedule helped us prepare for next season, we had a very difficult schedule but we were still able to come through and get ourselves into the playoffs,” junior Christian Galligan said. “We have a lot of returning players and we know how to win against tough competitors.”

The Lawmen have many returning players with varsity experience so thye hope to use this going forward and use it as momentum to help grow younger players. 

“My favorite part of the year was watching the team grow and get better at the game that we all love,” junior Micheal Merchant said. “I also enjoyed making States and we are working hard to go far and get a ring.”
