In Major League Baseball there’s an old adage that says if you can get three hits in 10 at-bats, you’re a Hall of Famer.
But on the high school baseball and softball scene, area players are aiming a bit higher.
As the regular season charges toward its conclusion, South Hagerstown’s Derek Kline (.463) and Greencastle-Antrim’s Elvin Robles (.455) are both flirting with batting .500 on the baseball diamond. Local softball batters are hitting even better as our Top 6 players — Fairfield’s Maddy Payne (.694), Chambersburg’s Breanne Paetow (.557), Greencastle-Antrim’s Meadow Gambacurta (.532), South Hagerstown’s Raelee Fry (.463) and Jaseri Chapman (.456), and Waynesboro’s Emma Bradley (.458) — are all batting over .450.
A handful of athletes made some big moves on our track and field leaderboards, with Greencastle-Antrim’s Jaylynn Schmuck leading the way. She exploded for a 36-9 in the triple jump last week, and that mark not only leads our coverage area this season, it also broke the Blue Devils’ school record.
Our spring sports leaderboard is based on stats for the seven teams in the Local.News1 coverage area — Waynesboro, Greencastle-Antrim, Chambersburg, Fairfield, North Hagerstown, South Hagerstown, and Smithsburg — that have been reported to maxpreps.com, athletic.net, and GameChanger.
