Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball and softball teams participated in a media day as practices get underway.

Hempfield’s baseball team is looking to defend its first state championship after defeating LaSalle last spring. Austin Hinkle takes over as coach for the Black Knights. Hinkle played in the Tampa Bay Rays organization and was an all-state player at Hempfield. The Black Knights return key starters in Brody Gebhard, Brayden Hostetter and Josh Toole.  Hinkle says "We have a good foundation and hope that having that experience will pay dividends."
