Austin McDade, senior catcher for the Southeast Guilford Falcons’ baseball team, has committed to attend and play baseball for LaGrange College in Georgia…Congrats and Good Luck to McDade and he won’t have it made in the shade when he hits Georgia, but he should be able to get enough hits to keep it all within range, when he gets to LaGrange….Near Atlanta and you can read more below….
(LaGrange in the DIII USA South Conference along with teams that you might know in Greensboro College, Methodist, N.C. Wesleyan and Averett.)
