HHS sweeps doubleheader in Wray

Holyoke High School baseball is off to a strong start after the team’s first doubleheader in Wray Monday, March 20, where they won both games against the Eagles.
    Both games stopped short of the full seven innings due to CHSAA’s 10-run mercy rule. In the first game, Wray put up a fight, stretching the game to six innings before the Dragons defeated them 18-8. Bolstered by their first big win, HHS went on to beat Wray 12-0 in five innings.
