RIGHT NOW I LIKE

In all phases of the game

LEAGUE FAVORITE

Clinton Massie returns almost all players from an unbeaten league run last year. They also add good depth at the pitching position. Hillsboro is a serious contender with Thornburg, Breeden, and several other good ball players. Watch out for a much improved East Clinton team. They could surprise some folks.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM

Our league should be fairly competitive top to bottom.
