The Pingree School, which has just one senior, has picked up its play recently after veteran coach Jim MacLaughlin moved Kaisy Rosario of Lawrence from shortstop to center field. Sophomore Kellie Marshall of Danvers has taken over at shortstop for the Highlanders, who are 4-2 in the Eastern Independent League.
"Rosario is a captain and our only senior, (so) by putting her in center, we've solidified the middle on defense," said MacLaughlin. "We thought we could be a better team with speed and experience if we put (Rosario) out there."
Rosario is also one of the team's top hitters with a .416 average. Jaime Cappucci, a sophomore third baseman from Saugus, has been lighting up at the plate with a .459 average and 12 RBIs.
"We made a lot of mistakes last year, so we've challenged the kids to play the whole game through," said MacLaughlin. "We've definitely increased our demands. Our goal is to finish in the top four (in the league) so that we can be in the playoffs."
