Here is the schedule and scores (when available) for the American Legion state tournament, being held July 23-30 at UNLV.
Centennial scored 12 runs in the first two innings, and used a 16-hit attack to defeat Silverado 16-1 Wednesday night in the American Legion State Tournament at UNLV’s Wilson Stadium.
Silverado pitcher Kevin Pindel’s personality strongly resembles his style on the mound. The 6-foot-1-inch, soft-spoken right-hander is not a power pitcher, but he can deal well enough to make a point.
The Blue Sox are the top seed in the double-elimination tournament, which ends July 30. The team is carrying over Basic’s momentum from winning the school’s first state baseball title in 29 years in the spring.
Here is a recap of every team that won a state title during the 2016 spring sports season and will be looking to defend this upcoming season.
