In game 2, Reese Hite and Anthony Riccio had 2 hits apiece, and Cohen Cochran and Owen Hileman added some fantastic work on the mound in a 7-4 victory.

(5/9) This Month’s School counseling tip Tuesday topic is Mindfulness. Mindfulness encourages us to be present by training our brains to be “in the moment” instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. For more information, see your school counselor or English teacher.
