(This is the latest installment in a look at some of the tradition of Bartlesville American Legion summer baseball.)
Paced by the sparkling pitching of Tyler Yardley and Eddie Olenberger, the United Linen Braves subdued a quality Vinita (AAA) Hornet team, 4-2, during Friday action at the U.L. Classic baseball tourney in 2011.
This one felt good for Braves head coach Daniel Hayes.
Really, really good.
The Braves (3-3) continued their unbridled U-turn by claiming their third-straight win.
This one against Vinita was especially big.
Both teams entered Friday’s fray after demolishing their Thursday’s foes.
