With the time reaching just after 6:30 p.m. in Steele, the valiant three-game run for the SNR Black Sox to try and topple Region 3 power Carrington finally ran out of juice. And, considering where they came from to get there and the multiple opportunities they had to close the Cardinals out, the dejected walk off Pirate Field was even more stinging. The 'Sox and Cards engaged in two wild championship games, but Carrington earned the right to play in the State B Tournament for the fifth straight...

Wallace says that even worse, it has been tu...
