Bench players for Seckman helped squash a late rally from Northwest, but they were able to do it off of the field, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reports.
Brad Hagedorn, coach of the Seckman Jaguars baseball team, is crediting his bench players in a big win over Northwest on Tuesday. As Northwest fought to erase a deficit in the sixth inning, Seckman's bench players assisted centerfielder Thomas Estopare in a key moment, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
