Roth will be the starting third base- man who will hit in the middle of the line- up, while Martinson and Macbean will each star in utility roles for the Foxes. The Foxes will also be led by pitcher Mason Pearson, who is expected to be the ace of the staff. After making it to the Round of 16 last season, the Foxes have higher expecta- tions for themselves as they head into this season. “I think we have a good squad this year and I think that we have the capa- bility to advance farther in the playoffs this year, which will be one of our main goals,” Macbean said. Roth added: “I would say that my big- gest team goal would be to finish the sea- son with a winning record and making a run in the playoffs. As a senior, I want to do everything in my power to continue the winning culture that was left from the seniors last year and that will be passed down to younger players when I’m gone next year.” After last year’s successful squad, this Silverton team is going into this year with confidence, and it already been showing in this young season. As conference play quickly approach- es, the Foxes already have two quality victories on their resume, including a 9-3 victory over 6A opponent Forest Grove. “We have a solid team this year and I think that we will surprise some people with how good we are and how fare we can go,” junior shortstop Brice Shippen said. Rise said: “The most important thing is that we continue to get better every day and to create an environment where we feed off of what we accomplished the previous day.” STATESMAN JOURNAL FILE Silverton shortstop Grant Roth stops a ground ball in a Mid-Willamette Conference baseball game last year. Even though Silverton lost two all-State performers in Dustin Meyer and Anders Green, the Foxes have some key pieces, like Roth, returning to this year’s squad.
