With a batting lineup of nine hitters and a pitching rotation of a handful of hurlers, along with a relief corps, not to mention bench players, there is no telling who will come through from one contest to the next. For Newtown High School’s baseball team, this has been all the more prevalent with some younger and bench players stepping in — and stepping up — in the absence of starters put due to injury and illness.
