Following The All-Stars

Woohoo! This week we will follow the Warner Robins American League Softball All-Stars to Portland for the World Series. The girls did a great job of winning the Southeastern Title. I say that because they had to show a little bit of grit battling back to win a couple of games. It's always an advantage when you can see a team do that. It gives them confidence with adversity.

Friday night the girls had a send off party at Flint Energies field. Head Coach Roger Stella said they're not going out there to make friends, they've got work to do. He told the audience it was a huge accomplishment to get back to this level because when the team won it all last year they immediately put a target on the back of this year's squad.

But maybe the biggest advantage for the kids comes from the fact that a little less than half of the All-Stars played last year. Imagine that kind of experience. Board member Steve Stout says the veterans can say to the 11 year olds "Hey it's okay, we can do this."

Throw the weather advantage to the girls too. I looked up the forecast for the area and we'll see highs in the mid to upper 80's. It will seem like Disney World after the sizzling 90's we're suffering through in Central Georgia.

We're excited to go on this trip and excited to bring you great coverage of the games and the little magical moments that make these kinds of things so memorable. So wish us luck on the road and we'll see ya on TV!!
