Coach Jamie Fitch isn’t shy when talking about the Fairmont 11-12-year-old Little League All-Stars’ hitting skills.
“They can mash the ball, that’s for sure,” he said.
A fastball over the plate, something slow down low, the whole lineup seems to have a knack for putting bat on ball.
The All-Stars continued their hot hitting Wednesday night at Mary Lou Retton Park, using a huge fifth inning to roll past Shinnston, 12-6. The team concludes pool play at 2 p.m. Sunday when it hosts Lewis County.
