Tuesday’s Senior Night matchup between the Pioneer baseball team and Stone Memorial presented WCHS coach J.W. Holt with a unique opportunity. With nine seniors on the Pioneer roster, it was possible to field a lineup entirely composed of 12th-graders. However, doing so required a new position for senior pitcher Josh Mullins, who started the game in right field and made a rare appearance in the batting order. Mullins stepped up to the challenge, handling the only fly ball hit his way with ease (at right) to record the third out of the first inning, and going 0-for-1 at the plate with a sharp grounder to shortstop (below) in the third. He walked and later scored in the fourth.
