Cliff Williams / The Outlook Central Alabama Community College's Jake Outlaw, a Dadeville graduate, has a hot bat heading into the start of the season, which begins Friday. He is expected to start in the outfield.

A handful of starters are returning for Central Alabama Community College’s baseball team, and they’ll be complemented well by the incoming freshmen. That’s made for high expectations for the Trojans, who begin the season Friday at home against Gordon College.

“From the fall, they’ve all gelled together well and they’re working really hard,” CACC coach Larry Thomas said. “They had a really good fall and I like the way they played and how they transitioned from high school to college. The older guys really took the reins, so I think we’ll be solid. We should definitely compete in the conference.”
