“Our hitting is getting better,” said North Greene’s head baseball coach Jim Rush. “Our pitchers also pitched well and our defense had a .986 fielding percentage. We don’t strike out a lot of kids, so our defense has to be good.”
Dean, the lead-off hitter, has started since he was a sophomore and is getting base hits to set the others up to hit, Rush said.
Matt Walker and Robbie Kerr both slapped two hits for Greenfield in the contest.
North Greene improves to 2-4 with the win.
