Local:

• Irmo 9 ? Laurens 7? The Laurens Little League 11 Year Old All-Stars Team bid for a state championship came to an end last night as Irmo defeated them 9-7 in a game that went back and forth all night up in Easley? The teams were tied 7 all going into the top of the 6^th inning when Irmo took the lead on a 2 run homer by a player that had already hit two home runs in the game? Laurens then just could not get the needed hits in the bottom of the 6^th inning to tie or take the lead? Steve Foster did have a homerun for Laurens in the game? Congratulations to the team for a great effort in the series.?

Braves:

• Well as most all?baseball fans know, the Braves and all other teams were off last night as they break for the MLB All-Star Game tonight up in New York? By the way a reminder that the game can be seen on FOX tonight with pre-game coverage starting at 7:30? The league that wins the game will have home-field advantage for the World Series this October
• Also you may remember that Braves closer Craig Kimbrel was the only Brave selected for tonight?s All-Star Game until the fans voted Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman into the final spot on the NL roster last Thursday marking his first appearance in the mid-summer classic? On Saturday Freeman injured his thumb and will not be able to play so the Braves catcher Brian McCann was selected as his replacement on the roster? This marks McCann?s 7^th appearance in the on the all-star roster and he was the MVP of the game in 2010 when he delivered a game-winning double for the NL.

Greenville Drive: Well the Drive and the Savannah Sand Gnats finally got to play a complete game of baseball yesterday after all the rain down on the coast of Georgia over the weekend.

• Drive 2 ? Gnats 1? In the first game yesterday which was the completion of a game suspended due to weather back on Saturday, the Drive took a 2-1 win over the Savannah by scoring a a run in the top of the 9^th inning to break a 1-1 tie? Savannah loaded the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9^th but were unable to get the tying or winning run across the plate.
• Gnats 7 ? Drive 4 ?. In the regularly scheduled game last night, Savannah bounced back and took a 7-4 win over the Drive? The Drive lead 3-1 going into the bottom of the 6^th when Savannah scored 3 runs to go up 4-3 then added 2 more in the 7^th and 1 in the 8^th.? The Drive are not scheduled to play again until tomorrow night when they start a week long home stand with the Ashville Tourist being the team in at Flour Field? Just wondering if they might stay on the coast and try to make one or both of the games rained out in Savannah.
