In the final segment of Tuesday’s KDJ Show, Lakeland baseball coach Bill Casey discussed the team’s unexpected run to the state semifinals.

Next up for the Hornets, who were the No. 12 seed in the Section 1 playoffs, is three-time Long Island champion Wantagh on Friday at 2 p.m. at the University of Binghamton. Wantagh won the 2016 state title in Class A and lost in last year’s final.

Casey knows his team is an underdog again in the postseason but has marveled at the laid-back attitude of his group over the past month.
