A Season of Growth
The Princeton Day School baseball team finished the season with a 13‑14 record, yet its journey through the state tournaments told a story of resilience and promise.
Early in the schedule the Panthers stumbled, dropping several games before finding a rhythm that would define their late‑season surge.
A pivotal 11‑1 victory over Holy Cross Prep showcased Mason Roitburg’s dominant pitching, while the offense clicked in a 1‑0 lead against top‑seeded Gloucester Catholic before a 10‑3 setback.
Key contributors such as Matt Silverman, who batted .429 with 26 runs and 25 RBIs, and junior standout Gavin Ross, combined with freshman sensations Dom Carabelli and Mack Chiavarone, helped the team overcome early adversity.
Coach Eric Schnepf highlighted the squad’s confidence, noting that the postseason performance sets a positive tone for the coming years.
Looking Ahead
Schnepf expressed excitement for next season, emphasizing the motivation of the rising juniors and the potential of the freshmen to build on the momentum.
