The Norwich Sea Unicorns, three‑time defending Futures League champions, have opened the season with a 14‑19 record that places them fifth in a seven‑team league.
A Season of Ups and Downs
Manager Zach Gitschier remains confident, recalling how the club turned a sub‑.500 regular season into a championship last year, and he believes the current health issues and roster transitions are only temporary setbacks.
Offensively, the team leans on hitters Kenny Noe, Mike Fiatarone and Caden Williamson, while pitchers Matt Tabet and Jack Scholz have provided stability, with Tabet posting a 2.59 ERA and Scholz delivering a 1.74 ERA out of the bullpen.
July brings a packed home schedule, including fireworks nights on July 17, 24 and 31, and a Fan Appreciation Night on July 31, giving the club a chance to rally the crowd.
Despite sitting two‑and‑a‑half games behind the Nashua Silver Knights for the final playoff spot, the Sea Unicorns hope to translate their depth into a late‑season surge.
