The 2010 baseball season at Lone Star College-Montgomery is underway, with games starting this weekend as the team takes on Lone Star College-Kingwood, in Kingwood, on Saturday, February 20, and Sunday, February 21.
 
After a strong spring season in 2009, with the team finishing in third place in the Gulf Coast Conference with 14 wins and nine losses, the players are pumped up and ready another winning season.
 
“We’ve got a great team this year, with some returning players to watch out for and some new players ready to go,” said Scott Hankosky, head baseball coach at LSC-Montgomery.
 
Starting pitcher Matt Fitzgerald, from The Woodlands, and starting pitcher and catcher Matt Coulson, from Conroe, are returning this season with their hopes high for securing a spot in the National Club Baseball Association World Series, held in Pennsylvania in May.
 
In addition to Fitzgerald and Coulson, team members to watch out for include new players: Brian LaLima, center fielder; Tristan Heath, right fielder; and BJ Brown, shortstop.
 
This season, conference games will be held against Rice University, Texas State University, University of Houston Downtown, Texas A &M University Corps of Cadets, and Texas A & M University at Galveston. Home games for the team are held at Covenant Christian School in Conroe.
