Notes from Lakewood vs. Delmarva

Although there were hard hit balls, I chalk it up more to luck. Why not use Scouting the Sally as your Personal Scout? With Colby [...]

Sand Gnats Back in Town for 8.
This season I’ve had three series circled on my calendar as “must see” and this week, Lakewood comes to town.
