Boasting eight returnees, the 2021-2022 Middlesex High School (MHS) varsity softball team is expected to draw on its experience to show strong improvement over last year’s younger squad, which finished 2-6 overall, 2-2 in district. This year’s team also has five new players.
“Our defense has been outstanding,” said Head Coach Jennifer Morotini. “With young pitching it’s so important to have a defense you trust behind you, and ours has been outstanding.” This is Morotini’s first year as head MHS varsity softball coach, although she has coached the junior varsity softball team for three years.
