Continuing their success was always the goal for the 1986-87 boys baseball team, and they definitely achieved their goals this season. The team set a school record for having the most wins in school history and having many players be all-conference. The boys dominated their conference winning the Northeast conference trophy and were on their way to regionals. The first game the boys beat Morris 7-1 but fell short to Providence Catholic and didn’t go any further.
