Carrollton’s new coach Jeff Krumwiede said the Hawks are hitting the ball well at the present.
“We were hitting .418 as a team after three games coming into Tuesday,” he said. “We are learning about what to expect. Our top seven hitters in the lineup are hitting. 500 or better"
"I looked at Nathan Walker, and told him you are our seventh hitter and hitting .500. We are moving people around in the batting order based on who is hot. Our pitching is also excellent and that will help with the new IHSA pitch county rule.”
The Hawks have a 4-0 record after the triumph over West Central.
