Baseball Preview: Fredericktown Freddies vs. Hillsdale Falcons

The Fredericktown Freddies will head out on the road to square off against the Hillsdale Falcons at 5:15 p.m. on Friday.

Fredericktown had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 7-2 to East Knox.

Meanwhile, Hillsdale put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They were the clear victor by a 12-3 margin over Rittman. Considering Hillsdale has won three matchups by more than eight runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jack Fickes was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off one hit. Fickes was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-4.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Owen Hoffman, who went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs, and two RBI. Kael Lewis was another key contributor, scoring two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
