LAPEL, Ind. — It was crowded up at home plate for the captain's meeting. Most teams usually send two or three players up along with the coach, but Wapahani puts five out there.
Five seniors, five captains. And Raiders coach Jacqualine Glancy will tell you: every last one of them has earned that right.
They had hopes of going out on top in their final postseason together, but Tuesday night turned out to be the last time those five seniors will ever go up to home plate as captains. The game started in their favor, but a huge fifth inning lifted Frankton to a 16-4 win over the Raiders in the first round of sectional.
