The Hillsboro Mavericks senior team begin to work out the kinks of the game as they begin to battle back from a 0-5 weekend to start out the season.

Mavericks took losses at the hand of Ohio Naturals, and Jefferson Co on Friday, June 12, Hillsboro fell short to the Troy Bombers and MV Prospects on Saturday in a double header, and Sunday the Greenville Thunder 19U handed the Mavericks there final loss for the Troy tournament.
