Alabama A&M Head Baseball Coach Hill expecting senior-laden team to make noise in SWAC

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Last season, the Alabama A&M baseball had a historic year with the first 20-win season in the program's Division I history.

The Bulldogs finished 21-32 and qualified for the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament, winning a tournament game for the first time since 2000, before being eliminated.

This year, Head Coach Mitch Hill has a wealth of senior experience among 11 position players and six pitchers - including a returning SWAC Hitter of the Year who ranked in the top 10 nationally.

"I hope our experience will play a huge factor this season," he said. "It all depends on their mindset. But it should give us a chance to win the conference championship."

Among his returnees are four all-SWAC players: Seniors Andrew Utterback, Julio Nunez and Brandyn Crutcher and junior Andrew Hulsey.
