The 12U Blue Knights Newburgh Junior Baseball team are off to Branson, Missouri for the Cal Ripken World Series baseball games!  

Congratulations to these amazing 12 year olds along with coach Marty Watson on their great accomplishment!  Tuesday evening was the last practice for the boys at Mulzer's Field in Newburgh.  Afterwards, the community came together for their good luck send-off including the Newburgh Fire Department, sports fans, friends and family, and MY 105.3 was there, too, providing some great tunes for everyone!
