High school baseball teams across the state were allowed to return to practice Monday. It’s a hesitant return to the diamond that comes with a long list of special guidelines including no more than 9 players on the field at a time, mandatory batting gloves when hitting, and a ban on a dugout staple—the ever-popular sunflower seeds. “The season we originally planned to play no longer exists. This season will be like no other, and our ability to be flexible is the key,” Beers said. Coach of the local American Legion Post 43 Jackson Giants, Jason Huggins said he will begin contacting the players in the coming days and hopes to get on the field as early as Wednesday. “We can go out and throw a little bit,” Huggins said, “as long as 6 feet of distance is maintained. Huggins anticipates starting slowly with players taking swings in the batting cage against a pitching machine, pitchers and catchers throwing, and infielders and outfielders can begin taking grounders and shagging flies. “For us to get out just play a little catch and get the kids some outside time away from a screen will be very welcome,” Huggins added.
