Inderkum High School baseball is off to an impressive start with the Tigers showing serious firepower at 3-0 so far.
Sophomore outfielder Austin Thurman ranks among the top 10 in the state wit home runs (2), RBIs (11) and is batting an impressive .700 with just 10 at bats the first three games. Add a three-man pitching rotation of left handers, including sophomore Isaiah Nunez and junior Carl Anderson (15 Ks in 11 Innings), and the Tigers are off to the best start in school history.
