The United Red Storm baseball team has gotten off to a (6-0) start this season. The Red Storm offense has scored nearly 11 runs per game and are hitting for an amazing batting average of .435 as a team during the streak. Even more eye-popping are the pitching numbers for the Red Storm. In six games, the United pitching staff has only allowed four total runs in six games, with just two of them being counted as earned runs. Opposing teams are hitting a paltry .138 against Red Storm pitching. United head coach Ryan Molek says everyone knows that pitching well and playing solid defense are keys to success in the game of baseball.
Coach Molek and his Red Storm have an important Lincoln Trail Conference double header scheduled for Saturday at United High School. Perennial LTC power, Annawan/Wethersfield travels to United for a twin-bill with the first game starting at 11am. The United Red Storm softball team heads to Galesburg tonight before hosting Annawan/Wethersfield tomorrow, as well. It will be senior day for the Red Storm ladies.
