The Orange baseball team is now officially the #2 seed from the Big 8 Conference after beating Northwood 15-4 in six innings on Friday night in Hillsborough. Once again, Orange used the longball to its advantage. Dayne Watkins launched a three-run homer in the first inning. Tucker Joseph and Joey Berini also homered. It was Watkins 1st varsity home run, and his teammates didn’t let him forget about it in postgame. Orange completed the regular season 14-5 after lacing 17 hits against the Chargers. The Panthers will start play in the 3A state playoffs on Tuesday at a time and location to be determined.
