Mustangs retire No. 14 in honor of Furlow

Hank Furlow

Baseball fields around the country were empty Saturday but Stanhope Elmore wanted to take the field at least one more time as the Mustangs honored a former coach before the season was in jeopardy. Hank Furlow was the head coach of the baseball program for 18 years and while his name will certainly not be forgotten any time soon, the Mustangs made sure his number would not be either.

Prior to Saturday’s game against Holtville, Stanhope Elmore held a ceremony to unveil the No. 14 on the outfield fence, officially retiring Furlow’s number.
