We open up by welcoming Ozark Tigers head baseball coach Justin Sundlie to preview tonight's highly anticipated Class 6 District Championship game against the Kickapoo Chiefs down at the newly minted Mike Essick Field. Coach Sundlie takes us inside their "loose and dangerous" locker room culture, sharing how his squad bounced back from a rough late-March stretch to win 16 of their last 20 regular-season games. He also honors retiring Ozark AD Yancey Little and reflects on what it means to lead his alma mater onto a state-of-the-art turf facility.
Then, Ned Reynolds, Scott Puryear, and Art Haynes pivot to college baseball action. We look back at a massive, much-needed win for the Missouri State Bears over Kennesaw State in the conference tournament, highlighting big long-relief outings from Max Knight, a game-ending save by Curry Sutherland, and home run blasts by Bergman and Sutherland. We look ahead to the Bears' critical upcoming match against Dallas Baptist, analyze the latest live RPI metrics, and debate the likelihood of regional host sites like Arkansas, Kansas, or Texas. Finally, the guys give a passionate breakdown of the slumping Kansas City Royals ahead of their home stand against the Seattle Mariners, touch on the Tampa Bay Rays' stadium funding progression, and play a game of "who is the worst team in baseball right now?" It’s the ultimate local sports coffee shop talk to kickstart your long holiday weekend!
