My hometown team, the Hays Larks defeated Roger Clemens' team of ex-MLB players in a semi-final last night, 9-6 in 17 innings. Daniel James pitched 8 brilliant innings of scoreless relief for the win.
Santa Barbara and San Diego started play after midnight and went 12 innings with Santa Barbara winning.
I have 3 hours to decide if I'm driving to Wichita or not and hoping to get tickets at the box office, lol.
As a big Larks fan, and a fan of the NBC world Series I have to rate this years Series as one of the best in it's 82 year history.
Tonight's championship game will be on ESPNU, I highly recommend any baseball fans, or sports fans in general, to tune in and watch NBC Hall of Famer Frank Leo and The Larks attempt to win their first championship against powerhouse Santa Barbara who have won 5 of the last 10 championships.
Notable ex-Larks include Jim Leyritz, Jack Wilson, Lance Berkman and Albert Pujols.
Daniel James pitches for UT Arlington and is my newest favorite baseball player. Kid is gonna be a star and you heard it here first!
