I don’t get it and nor do you. Are we starting to expect it? Maybe. These Sky Sox will not go away and it is just incredible. Last night the Storm Chasers plated three runs in the first and two in the fifth, all against Tim Dillard, and looked to be well on their way to…

The Sky Sox backed up their thrilling come-from-behind walk-off victory Thursday night by scoring in the first inning and jumping out to an early 1-0 lead over Omaha Friday night.

The Sky Sox once again fell behind 2-0 in the first inning of yesterday afternoon’s game and could not rally back, ultimately falling 6-5.
