FARMINGTON – The Midland Redskins rose from the ashes of consolation play, reminding the amateur baseball world of their Connie Mack World Series championship pedigree.
They fought and scrapped all week to stay on the mountaintop, beating the Southern California Renegades twice (5-4 in eight innings in Game 1, 9-2 in nine innings in Game 2) today for a CMWS three-peat and title No. 16.
“It’s amazing. I haven’t been on a team like this my whole life,” center fielder Bryce Matthews said.
