We have about a half hour until the scheduled start of 7 PM. As with the Midwest Championship game, ESPN is in charge of the actual start. Maybe we should say that TV coverage starts at 7 and the game will begin about 10 minutes later.

Iowa held off the stubborn team from Missouri to become the Midwest champion earlier today, winning 7-6. It was a great game with back-to-back home runs, a grand slam home run and combined hits between the teams of 16. When looking at the game stats, both teams were pretty close. Missouri had 6 runs on 9 hits and 2 errors. Iowa had 7 runs on 7 hits and had 1 error. The costly error for Missouri was in the bottom of the 5th that allowed the go ahead 7th run. Iowa then put Missouri down for the count in their last at bat.

Tonight's game between Logan County Little League from Russeville, Kentucky and Bartholomew County National Little League from Columbus, Indiana should be another great game of baseball.

Earlier today I spoke with John Roll, the Little League District Administrator that Logan County ALL belongs, and he said that the league only had 33 players to chose a team from and these are the top 10. That's pretty amazing.

The game has started and we're in the top of the first and the score is already 2-0, Kentucky. A hit batter and a home run.... not a very good start for Indiana. But there's a lot of baseball yet to be played.
