Six games into the 2019 campaign, the Barnegat High School varsity baseball team is halfway to last year’s win total with a 4-2 mark (3-0 in B South.) Last year, the Bengals went 8-15 (5-7 in B South.)

“Our big problem was fielding,” said head coach Dan McCoy, who entered his eighth season with a career 87-88 mark. “We made too many errors. This year our defense looks real good, and you’re fielding the ball, everyone can relax a little. The pitchers don’t have to worry about being perfect.”
