Leesburg, Fla. – Every spring the Lake-Sumter State College baseball team partners with The Campus Fellowship of Christian Athlete's Club and the Lake County Fellowship of Christian Athlete's group to put on a clinic.
This year, close to 60 local baseball players came to the Hawks Nest on the Lake-Sumter campus. They came to learn more about the game they love and to hear positive words related to baseball and life.
