Milleteers Lucky Seven Angels
Posted May 24, 2013
Tonight the Milleteers made the short drive down to Beaumont. The expansion Angels were fresh off a big win knocking off the second place Rebels on Tuesday and looked to keep the momentum going. The Milleteers went with old Millet Minor Ball product Josh Johnson, fresh off eight years of...

Jays Top Roadrunners on Windy Evening
Posted May 22, 2013

Holden Gets Road Win, Bats Still Buried Underground
Posted May 17, 2013
A 10-1 win normally means some level of hitting, yet the Holden Blue Jays continue to defy even basic levels batting acumen. Control issues plagued the Beaumont Angels from the game’s opening, yet Holden hitters were kept honest with a blend of wildness and a live fastball. Early walks and err...
