CARTERVILLE, Ill. — John A. Logan College's baseball program handled Olney in midweek action, according to the Southern Illinoisan, another notch in a program that's become one of the steadiest junior-college outfits in the region.
Logan's diamond has sent plenty of talent on to four-year programs over the years, and midweek tune-ups like this one are where a roster works out its rotations before conference play tightens up. Details on the final score weren't included in the initial report, but a win over Olney keeps the Volunteers moving in the right direction as the fall slate continues.
For Carterville, the college's athletics are one more point of civic pride alongside its academic mission — a reminder that this campus, built to retrain a coalfield workforce, has also built a reputation for putting good teams on the field.
