Jeb Clark of McDonald County, Webb City’s Patrick Drake and Tyler Burgess, Branson’s Tee Helsel, and Brock Robbins of Republic (who can throw a bit too) all add some good pop to the Red lineup. They head north this weekend to Lincoln, Nebraska for their action. They’ll face competition from Kansas, Nebraska, & the Kansas City area.
Both teams should be a lot of fun to keep up with this summer. Below are the full rosters & remaining schedules for both teams.
