World Wood Bat Underclass Showcase in Fort Myers, FL

Midland Braves/Kansas City Royals Scout Team

I saw on the website where the Midland Braves/Kansas City Royals Scout Team is in the finals. This was the team the SC Panthers had down 5-0 in the fifth and losing out in extra innings in the round of 16. Good show by the local team.

Great Memories

Midland is playing Orlando in the finals and that is the team that the CBC Diamond Rats shutout in pool play 2-0 behind Taylor Thurber complete game 3hitter allowing no walks and striking out 5. Very impressive win.

 

awesome showing for NC. congratulations !

 

Remember that name ( Taylor Thurber) gonna be something to watch this year. This junior right handed pitcher was also a part of the 3a state champion lake norman wildcats as a sophmore. He will have a major role in LKN rotation between him and 2 senior lefty's Scottie Williams and Tyler Lewis

 

I agree. Mikal has played with and against Taylor back during the copperhead days. He has always been a pitcher that just wins. What he is doing is not a surprise to the people who knows him. Good things are only ahead for a super young man.
