How good is JUCO ball in
@THEGCAA
?? In our game today there were 7 90+ arms. 2 that were at 93. There were also 9 bombs and several web gems. I’d bet if we polled the other two games in the league it’s pretty similar.
So proud of our boys for taking home a Region 17 Championship!!!
Here’s is what it’s all about though: One captain- David Smith asking to give up his last at bat for another captain

17 games in Chargers off to best start in history. 6 players already 10+ RBI and offense halfway to doubles season record. Pitching staff a third of way to strikeout record. I think it may be safe to say some more records will fall this year
Chargers win 14-1 tonight behind Alex Holdbrooks 6 inning, 6 K, no run performance.
