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.
