Lineup Card Will Look
Much Different This Season
With 2/3 of the starting outfield, 3/4 of the starting
rotation, both starting corner infielders and a handful of
dependable role players gone this season, CSUDH interim
baseball head coach Murphy Su’a will have his hands full
filling his swiss cheese looking line-up card. Despite the
losses, the Toros will return a number of key players from
last season’s team.
