Feeling bored and antsy that I should be at a ball game somewhere, last Saturday afternoon I ended up over at the West Union Recreation Park. I had been invited to a Class "C" game between two West Union teams but when I arrived at the park, I found that I had hit a jackpot. Not only were the "C" teams in action, but there were two "B" games going on at the same time. I was in Knothole heaven. Now I do enjoy covering the high school athletes, but there is something comforting about getting out sometimes to watch the little fellows in action. Wednesday, May 08, 2013

Game Two didn't go quite as well for the visitors as the Bobcats salvaged one for themselves, taking the nightcap 10-5. Wednesday, May 15, 2013
