There are very few schools each year that land a kid in the first round. Maybe a couple will land two.

A Long Goodbye to Baseball
Late last Wednesday night the Farmington Caridinals lost 4-0 to the Arizona Firebirds at Ricketts Park, thus ending their run in the Connie Mack World Series.

It is basically the path of least resistance into the Series, and as a consequence [...]
