Baseball

Coach: Greg Olenski

2018 Record: 17-4 overall, 15-1 BAL

2018 All-League Performers: Catcher Phil Stahl (1^st team All-BAL), first baseman John McNamee (1^st team), outfielder Brett Sternberg (1^st team), pitcher Ryan Staropoli (1^st team), utility man Mark Seibert (1^st team), pitcher Luke Verga (2nd team), second baseman Sean Kerrigan (honorable mention) 

Key Players Lost to Graduation: Mark Seibert (Gettysburg College), Brett Sternberg (Rutgers University), Luke Verga (Ursinus College), Zach Vittorelli (DeSales University)

Key Returning Players: John McNamee (signed with Rider University), Phil Stahl (signed with Monmouth University), Ryan Staropoli (signed with Lehigh University), Cory DiMario (signed with DeSales University), and Colin Costello. 

2019 Season Outlook: HGP alum Vince Rossomando ’02 compiled a gaudy 46-16-1 record in his three seasons before resigning last spring due to the increased demands of his full-time job. So former HGP star Greg Olenski takes over the talent-laden program that includes three seniors who are Division I commits in John McNamee (Rider University), Phil Stahl (Monmouth University), and Ryan Staropoli (Lehigh University). This team should rule the BAL yet again and hopes to do some damage in the 2019 district and state playoffs.

HG Undefeated Halfway Through

We continue to have great success this season, coming off an impressive 11-1 win over area rival Archbishop Wood on alumni day.  John McNamee (2), Will Binder and Phil Stahl all homered, while Ryan Staropoli pitched a gem in the 10-run rule shortened game.

As a team, the Firebirds are hitting .389 and have an ERA of 1.11.  The team will face tough competition on the road at Dock Mennonite on May 2nd, and at home on Friday, May 3rd and Saturday, May 4th vs. Neumann-Goretti and Pennsbury, respectively.
