South Hagerstown’s baseball squad is off to a 2-6 start this season, but Derek Kline is doing everything he can to turn the tide for the Rebels.
After a big day at the plate against Smithsburg last week, Kline now leads the seven-team Local.News1.org coverage area in batting average (.571), home runs (3), and runs (11), while also ranking among area leaders in doubles (3), RBI (7), and stolen bases (5).
Kline’s three home runs, by the way, all came in the game against Smithsburg.
While Kline is alone in the lead for the LN1 home run race, there’s a three-way tie for that honor in softball, where Greencastle-Antrim’s Meadow Gambacurta, Chambersburg’s Addison Gsell, and Waynesboro’s Lydia Shank have each sent three homers into orbit.
In track and field, Waynesboro thrower Ben Williams and Smithsburg sprinter Jenna Howe are setting the bar high in their respective disciplines. Williams leads the LN1 boys area in all three throwing events, while Howe is our top local in the 100, 200, and 400.
Our spring sports leaderboard represents the seven teams in the Local.News1 coverage area — Waynesboro, Greencastle-Antrim, Chambersburg, Fairfield, North Hagerstown, South Hagerstown, and Smithsburg — and is based on stats reported to maxpreps.com, athletic.net, and GameChanger.
