7 years ago I attended the NCAA D1 track Championships at Drake U. and took the 1st pic. This week’s #AAUJROGames have been at Drake U. and I took the 2nd and 3rd pics as a re-enactment of sorts. The 4th pic is of Brett as he’s getting ready to throw today. Special moment for me.

Cameron gives up one hit and gets pulled after 87 pitches. Erceg gets to close after three straight blown saves. If that's analytics, I don't understand analytics.

Headed to the 3A state championship game in a thriller that came down to the final outs.

Girard survived a tense finish Wednesday as Burlington had runners on second and third in the final inning before the Trojans recorded the last out on a ground ball to seal a 2-1 victory and punch their ticket to the state title game.

Bryor Schultz was outstanding on the mound while Robbie Bruning and Aiden Ashbacher each delivered RBI hits for Girard. Burlington battled until the very end and nearly tied or took the lead in the closing moments before Girard closed the door.

Now the Trojans will turn their attention to Friday’s state championship showdown with Silver Lake.

Even bigger for Girard, junior Arkansas commit Kam Smith, last season’s Sports in Kansas 3A Pitcher of the Year, will be available for the title game after throwing Monday in the quarterfinals.

State championship bound. #sportsinkansas

[Royals Review @royalsreview]

This team has lost 13 in a row to the Yankees, counting the regular and post-season, the longest such streak in club history.

Not when they were an expansion team.
Not against Reggie's 70s teams.
Not against the 90s dynasty when the Royals stunk.
This team.

The video I took just minutes after it hit.
I was on the sports desk at the Joplin Globe. It was a skeleton crew on a Sunday evening so @ElGrizo and I were sent out to see what had just happened.
Never could have imagined what we'd drive up on, before first responders
