WAYNESBORO – The transition from spring to summer means one thing to the dedicated high school (and for some college) baseball players – switching out of the Waynesboro Indians uniform and into the Waynesboro American Legion Post 15 uniform.
From orange, blue and white to red, black and white.
From head coach Travis Hardman to manager Dan McCleaf.
There is one unifying element in that both teams play home games at Robinson Field on the campus of Waynesboro Area Senior High School.
Waynesboro is off to a 2-0 start this season, having won games against Fort Loudon, 4-0, and Biglerville, 13-3 (in Waynesboro).
Four of the next five games are on the road, with the lone home contest coming on Thursday against Boonsboro (Maryland).
Post 15 is scheduled to play 21 games this season, and, like every year, the goal is to win the Franklin County American Legion League title and play in the annual Region 4 tournament that kicks off the American Legion postseason culminating in the World Series in August in Cary, North Carolina.
Waynesboro will host this year’s regional championship, which is scheduled for July 15-19. Waynesboro is guaranteed a place in the event since it is the host team.
