A new starting lineup and a new home field to play on has set the stage for a season of fresh starts for the Spartans this year.
The Bainbridge High varsity baseball team took the field for their first outing of the season Monday, March 12, against visitors from North Kitsap, stepping onto new — considerably improved, much drier than usual — grass, sporting a few new names and looking to set a triumphant tone.
Alas, it wasn’t to be. The island squad was bested 5-3.
But they looked darn good out there. See for yourself. Luciano Marano was in the stands, camera in-hand, capturing the opening day action. His favorite shots are collected here.
