A major accomplishment occurred in the baseball world, by a baseball team based right here in Middle Tennessee. Knights Baseball - 16u Platinum, won the Mickey Mantle (16u division) World Series in Waterbury, Connecticut, defeating Connecticut Outlaws, 3-2.
Knights Baseball is an organization run by former Belmont University baseball players Eric Fruechtemeyer and Jason Anderegg. In putting together this team for 2016, Fruechtemeyer and Anderegg went after solid baseball man Barry Bartlett (former Siegel High School and Motlow State standout, and current Stewart's Creek High School assistant coach) to lead this team.
