IN GOD WE TRUST
Have fun and make some more history..............
The Final Championship is a best out of three games series. Meaning the team to win two games first will be the State Champion.
Per the site
All Games will be played at Buford High School
First Game of doubleheader starts on Saturday at 4 pm and the second game starts 30 minutes after the completion of the second game.
If a game three is needed it will be played also at Buford High School on Monday at 4 PM.
The talk is that the Buford HS Baseball Field does not have that much seating for spectators so you need to arrive early to claim your sitting area.
Also State Playoff Games cost 7 dollars for Adults and I believe 5 dollars for Students.
Pike County Baseball has done things that no other Pike County Baseball team has done including winning 29 out of their last 31 games. Defeating also I believe four # 1 ranked in the state teams at the time.
These kids need your support and love your support go if possible make plans to attend Saturday and watch History in the Making.
GO PIRATES BEAT BUFORD!
