OAK LAWN, IL — Senior Jackson Hilger is setting the table for the Oak Lawn Community High School baseball team this year, a dynamic leadoff hitter. He’s making things happens and helps the offense score runs.

Although he is hitting a robust .356, Hilger does more than just swing the bat. He has scored 19 runs, walked 10 times, and is 7-for-8 stealing bases. He currently leads the Spartans in both runs scored and stolen bases.

“Jackson is a four-year member of the baseball program,”OLCHS head coach Bill Gerny said. “He is going to continue his playing career at Moraine Valley Community College next season.”
