Over the weekend, the Crusader Baseball Team hosted a group of WHS baseball alums Saturday afternoon. We are sharing pics with you now as I speak. It was a beautiful day at Hibbs-Hooten field and it was fantastic to see the Crusaders out on the field, the first time in almost 2 years because of COVID.

BATTING
It was a SWEEP Monday evening at Hibbs-Hooten Field for the Varsity Crusader Baseball boys who move to 4-4 on the season, after losing 3 of their first 4 games by just 1 run. Gage Cunningham went the distance in Game 1 (Winfield 4 WHS 7) and it was Brayden Higginbotham in the nightcap, wrapping up the evening 2 innings shy of normal, final Winfield 2 WHS 13. Congrats gentlemen - keep it rollin'!!

It was Home Run Derby and WHS Alumni Baseball Game time Saturday afternoon at Hibbs-Hooten Field. If you like sunshine, and windless air, and 60ish temps, and baseball - you would have liked today's annual fundraiser, pitting our Varsity Boys against former Varsity Boys, i.e. ALUMS - great bunch on hand today - everyone had a great time.
In the end, it was the YOUNGIN's 19 ALUMS 11.
The Crusaders jumped out on the Rose Hill Rockets early Thursday down at Hibbs-Hooten Field, and never looked back. In the opener, Wellington won 6-1. Cade Phelps got the win on the mound and helped his cause with 2 HR's to boot! Almost error free action - just 1 error on the Crusaders. Arlis Troutman & Trey Cary came in to finish what Phelps had started. It was SENIOR NIGHT too - 7 seniors and their parents were honored before the nightcap began!

The Varsity Crusader Baseball Team begin the season with a win and a loss. The Andale Indians were visiting on Thursday afternoon, under cloudy skies (most of the time), cool and windy conditions, but no rain!
