CRNLL Grey 12 vs. ARAA 1 6 Well the season has come to an end and what an end it was! The Grey's were involved in a nail biter.The bats were a bit silent until the top of the 6th. But once again the CRNLL spirit prevailed! The Grey's tacked up enough runs to prevail 12-6. Defense was the staple tonight! A diving catch, a close play at home, and shut down late inning pitching assured the victory over the Anoka team!
Thanks again to all who made this All Star team and its season a success!
