The Southern Nevada Blue Sox – comprised of players from Basic and Green Valley High Schools – defeated Centennial 12-2 Thursday night in the American Legion State Tournament at UNLV’s Wilson Stadium.
Baseball
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.
