About ready for delayed start of C5 state semifinal between No. 5 @Piratebaseball and No. 2 Willard. Platte County sends senior @ZachBrown2607 back to the mound after he pitched in all 3 of last weekend’s quarterfinal series games

@ZachBrown2607 @Piratebaseball Willard adds 5 more in T4 and leads @Piratebaseball 9-0 in C5 state semifinal. PC doesn’t have ace @BrennanMac23 available to pitch this weekend and have allowed only 6 hits while committing 4 errors
