If you're wondering if talents like Jake Crist of Greencastle-Antrim, Deon Stafford of Lower Dauphin and Millersburg's Connor Keim can keep up the blistering pace, join the club.
The trio represents our Top 3 sluggers in our first batch of offensive statistics, which includes top doubles-man Hunter Shannon of Big Spring, Susquehanna Twp. speedster Christian Ciotti for triples and Northern's Joe DeLuca in stolen bases. Three is also the magic number for our home run leaders.
