Baseball leaders through April 2

The air is finally warming up and the past two weeks have allowed baseball teams in the Hanover/Adams area to finally get on the field and play a few games.

Let's take our first look at the area leaderboards, keeping in mind that some teams (Delone Catholic) have only completed as few as three games while others (Littlestown) have played as many as six. Stats from suspended games are not included.

We'll break the hitting stats up into doubles, triples and home runs as the season moves on, but for now extra base hits are listed as one category. An * denotes that a player has hit a home run.
