BERLIN — Coach Dan Mackin begins his first year at the helm of the Berlin High baseball team, with assistance and JV coach coming from BHS alumni and student/athlete Travis Houle, also in his first year.
The Mountaineers came out of the gates swinging red-hot bats in the opening week of the season as they notched an 8-2 home victory over visiting Laconia on April 14 and then scored a 20-1 road win at Colebrook on Monday behind a no-hot effort by pitcher Jeremyha Dow.
