Seven games into their season, the American Studies baseball team has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the Bronx AA League.

Led by Coaches Pete Nizzari, Howie Blitz, and Jon Auerbach, the teams looks as if they will have a strong season. Other than a nail-biting 3-2 loss at Lehman Campus, the Senators have gone undefeated, and have a 6-1 record, and are tied for first place in the Bronx AA West Division. 

Seniors Brian Baek, Ben Gordon, and Alex Ramirez have led the team statistically.

In order to make the playoffs, the team must win eight games out of their 16, something which, at the moment seems likely.

This season has the potential to be a special one for the Senators. They have hopes of winning their division, and going deep into the playoffs, and potentially even making the championship game.
