(La Porte, IN) - There’s nothing like post-season high school baseball in La Porte. The 22-3 Slicers take on Mishawaka tomorrow in the Plymouth sectionals.

Head Coach Scott Upp said one of the keys would be not making errors on defense and pitchers throwing strikes. He said the team had done well in those areas this season, but a setback could allow the opposition to score easy runs.

“We’re having a pretty good year defensively. Knock on wood. Don’t want that to change,” Upp said.

Upp said it’s also crucial for his pitchers not to walk too many batters, especially when they’re leading an off an inning.

“You wouldn’t believe at the high school level the number of runs scored if you have a lead-off walk,” Upp said.

The game tomorrow is at 12:30 p.m. La Porte time.

Chip Jones, the commentator for Slicer Baseball on 96.7 the Eagle, said La Porte, Mishawaka, and South Bend Adams are the three best teams in the sectionals. A win over Mishawaka will mean La Porte facing the winner of the South Bend Adams and Michigan City game this evening for the championship on Monday.
