Norwalk up 1-0 in the 3rd.

If Norwalk holds on, should make for an interesting semifinal game. Haven't the Toreadors and Norwalk played three times already?

Iowa High School State Baseball Tournament

The live stats link is under the scoreboard on the right.

My high school, Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson (home of James Smith), won the summer tournament three out of the four years when I attended. This was before the age of classes (1A, 2A, etc.) so every school in the state was in the same playoffs. I think our pitcher, Bill Drummond, still holds a share of the record for most stikeouts in the title game. I think it's 16 stikeouts. He later was a first round draft pick of the Yankees out of Buena Vista but didn't make it out of the minors due to arm troubles.

I wasn't a team member even though the coach was on my paper route. When I told him I might try out, he said don't bother, you won't make it. Apparently he didn't trust my arm; I had to go back to his house more than once to show him where the paper landed.
