Baseball camp: Indians head baseball coach Adam Windham reports he closed out his baseball camp at the school on Thursday.
Campers were drilled in the Indian Olympics, held a dizzy bat contest and a scrimmage and finished up with a sliding practice on a trap.
The camp began on Monday with Windham and his coaching staff — Murphy Post (varsity assistant), Eric Isenhour (head junior varsity coach) and Jonathan Wyant (assistant coach) – and former and current St. Stephens working the camp.
Campers ranged from those about to enter the second grade to rising high school freshmen and they received 3 ½ hours of instruction each day, including sessions focused on throwing mechanics, defensive fundamentals, base running techniques and individual hitting drills.
