GC baseball team has eye on Panhandle Conference title
NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY - Gulf Coast has the core in place for a run at a Panhandle Conference baseball championship. The Commodores now need a few complementary pieces to fit into place to solidify that chance. Gulf Coast returns six of its top eight hitters from last year’s 32-20 squad, which finished 8-12 in the conference. Its top two pitchers, and two of the best in the conference, also are back. Gulf Coast coach Mike Kandler loaded the nonconference schedule in hopes of getting his team prepared for an even longer Panhandle trek. The schedule is 24 games, six against each school, which makes depth an important factor. Kandler believes a veteran team with 12 sophomores, including nine with GC last season, can provide results. “You always hope experience will ultimately make you better in the close games,” Kandler said. “There are no guarantees, but a lot of these guys have been tested and that will always help you.” GC opens the season this weekend with the First Pitch Classic, featuring eight top junior college teams at Bill Frazier Field. The Panhandle Conference season opens March 13.
