There’s something about the crack of a wood bat that excites Carter Roth.
Luckily for the Medicine Hat Mavericks’ infielder, he’s been hearing that exquisite sound a lot this summer.
The 23-year-old product of Stratford, Ont. started his debut season in the WCBL on a hot note with a nine-game hit streak and hasn’t looked back, being held hitless in just four of 23 games he’s played in entering action Saturday at Athletic Park against the Saskatoon Berries.
