Meridians Baseball

Ralph Lewis again represented the Meridians by himself in 2010 along with some of the Murfreesboro Mudcats getting to the Championship game and through 8 innings before Mother Nature took over (2009's final washed out after 1 inning).   Soto returns in '11 along with Ralph and some of the same 'cats (as the Boone County Pirates this go-around) and go undefeated through seeding, but only get to the semi-finals.
