Last season, Coel was one of the cogs for Prairie Ridge in tying for the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division title with a 7-1 record and an ERA of under 2 in a little over 60 innings pitched.
The Scots came into this weekend’s series of games in Missouri with a 1-5 record in 2011.
In other spring athletic news at MCC, MCC’s softball team will begin their spring trip to Florida on March 24 where the team will spend a week playing teams from around the country while the men’s tennis team will begin their season on March 27.
The team is led by returning national qualifier Craig Greenwald, who went undefeated in region play last season.
