Linwood, N.J. - Mainland Regional’s baseball program is under new leadership after head coach Joe Smith resigned and an assistant coach was removed following an alleged incident in Myrtle Beach.


The change comes after just one regular-season game. Billy Kern, the school’s athletic director and former baseball coach, will take over the program while Mainland Regional searches for a replacement.

Multiple sources confirmed to the South Jersey Press that the alleged incident involved an inappropriate nightclub, but Mainland Regional’s administration did not disclose any details about the matter.
