Two Knights Still Alive At NBC World Series

Edwin Arroyo's Liberal Bee Jays and Chase Campell's League City Hornets are still alive after Friday at the NBC World Series in Wichita, Kansas.

Arroyo is hitting at a .300 clip through two victories. In his first game of the tourney he went 3-5 with a double and stolen base in a 9-7 victory over the San Diego Force. Arroyo is leading off and playing second base for the Bee Jays. There is another former Bee Jay middle infielder making a home in the DFW Metroplex, as Texas Ranger second baseman, Ian Kinsler was once a Bee Jay.

Campbell started the Hornets first game on the mound in the NBC earlier this week. Chase went 3.2 innings, giving up 7 runs on 5 hits, 4 walks, and 2 hit batters. The Hornets are currently 2-1 in the double elimination tournament.

Isabel Dominating Through First 5 Outings

Former Knight, George Isabel, has dominated the competition at the Rookie League level for the New York Yankees. Isabel, who made huge strides in his only year as a Knight, has been nearly unhittable through 11 innings of work in his first professional season.

The Yankees are taking it slow with George, to this point he as thrown once a week out of the pen. His latest outing was his longest as he went 3 innings, giving up one run on one hit, no walks and 5 punchouts.

Through his first 5 outings opponents are hitting just .175 while striking out 16 times to just 4 walks.
