The Esko baseball team who has been lights out this regular season, posting a record of 16-0 as of Monday and outscoring opponents 193-27.

They all have put in time in playing baseball in the summer, lifting weights, working on their arm speed and everything’s kind of coming to fruition here,” claimed head coach Ben Haugen.

The Eskomos next taste action Tuesday when they hit the field at 4:30 p.m. at home against the Cloquet Lumberjacks.
