Wolves host Panthers

The Wrangell High School baseball team kicked off its 2012 season Saturday, hosting three games against the Craig Panthers.

The Wolves won its first game Friday 5-4, but lost both games on Saturday 4-15 and 7-18.

Wrangell Coach Scott McAuliffe said despite the losses, the weekend games were a good series to start the season as it gave the team an idea of how they need to improve.

The Wolves began practicing in early March. McAuliffe said he would have liked to begin practicing earlier in the year, and says the late start may have contributed to the losses to Craig.
