Central Mass Standouts Make Roster
From Central Massachusetts are Joe Caico of Holy Name High School and University of New Haven, Luke Brennan of Doherty High School and Franklin Pierce, and Holy Cross' own Austin Cave of Saint Mark's High School.
Caico was a Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association State All-Star as an HN outfielder. Brennan pitched a one-hit shutout against Burncoat High School during his Senior year for the Highlanders. And Cave, after playing four seasons of varsity at St. Mark's, spent a year at the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut and was team MVP after going 6-1 with a 0.47 era.
The Bravehearts have also signed Holy Cross junior Bobby Indeglia, Auburn High and UMass Lowell infielder Zack Tower, and Shrewsbury High and Assumption College's Mike Coggeshall.
New York Mets Special Assistant J.P. Ricciardi's son, Dante will also be playing for the Bravehearts this season. Dante Ricciardi, from West Boylston, has committed to Georgetown University and has played for the Northeast Mets the past two summers.
The remainder of the team will be announced in early 2015. To purchase tickets, call the Bravehearts' office at 508-438-3773.
