(La Porte, IN) - The high school baseball season in La Porte gets underway this afternoon at home.  The Slicers play Hebron in a game broadcast live on 96-7 The Eagle beginning with the

pre-game show with Chip Jones at 5:15 p.m.

Head Coach Scott Upp said he has only two players with varsity experience because of the season last year being cancelled by COVID-19.  He said other teams are also dealing with lack of varsity experience from not playing high school baseball for more than 600 days.  “This year is like square one.   It’s just a different ball game,” Upp said.

Upp said he expects his players to go through some early growing pains but also compete.  The Slicers also play at home Thursday against Hobart.
