The Highwood Mustangs kick off their 2017 baseball season Tuesday, April 4, when the Vulcan's County Central Hawks come to town.

Mustangs first baseman Troy Kowal says the Mustangs are a good team again this year.

"It's going to be fun to see how we do against this team (Vulcan). A lot of work has been put in in the last few weeks, and we're very excited to get out there and play."

The first pitch goes out at 5:30 P.M. at Highwood High School.
