“It was a good comeback,” said Post 455 coach Bruce Bolick. “We didn’t play well. We threw a lot of bases of balls. In there. But it was a good comeback win.
It shows we never give up.”

“We’re playing pretty well,” Bolick said about his bunch. “Arce is having a great year. Michael and David Rue are playing well. Josh Hamby and Charlie Stroup are hard workers. Lee Woody is
hitting the ball well. We’re getting good pitching from Brandon Scott and Randall Chambers. Justin Keever has a sore back.”
