Baseball has often been called America’s favorite pastime. It’s no different in Monroe. Members of the community equate a successful team to their win percentage.
ULM won the Sun Belt conference championship in 2012, but has not been able to reach a win percentage even close to that since then. After the 2017 season and only 12 wins, it was time for a coaching change. Then came new head coach Michael Federico.
Federico immediately came in with a winning attitude, building on the 2017 campaign and winning 23 games in 2018.
“Our biggest goal is to compete on a day-to-day basis and if we can do that, our ultimate goal for this year is to get to the conference tournament,” Federico said.
