#2 Highland School Hawks

The reigning VISAA Division II State Champions are back and maybe better than ever. There will be some questions to answer at the plate, as they lost the production of Connor McAuley (Randolph-Macon), Garrett Pancione (Radford), Julian La Bella (Eastern Mennonite), and George Rizzo (George Washington), but there is plenty of offensive talent underneath for the Hawks. Blagen Pado (Longwood), Luke Craddock (ECU), Ryan Gimbel (Eastern Mennonite), Joey Rogers, Justin Summers (Dayton), and Kehler Hamilton (Elon) are just a few of the names you need to know in the Hawks' offensive lineup. It is fair to say that Highland is the favorite in VISAA Division II, as well as one of the best teams in the state.

And @Highland_BSBL are your @VISAABaseball DIII State Champions.

The Hawks made an impressive run all season long and it continued in the playoffs.

Final score 10-7. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRIsThere #RoadToShepherd pic.twitter.com/HsVWxGbC49
