WBO Barracudas |
Report |
League: Tulsa MSBL
Location:
Tulsa, OK
Key Players:
Info:
The Barracudas
are returning
to the
tournament once
again after a
frustrating
2009
appearance.
The Cudas
managed only
one win in the
tournament.
Summary:
The Cudas have
been there and
done that, yet
they still lack
the overall
talent that
some of the
teams will
bring to the
field.
They have a
consistent
group of
hitters that
will make the
pitcher work,
however the
pitching is
what seperates
the men from
the boys, and
the Cudas lack
the quality
arms found on
some of the
other teams.
A repeat
performance may
not be a
disappointment
in 2010 with a
tough pool to
open the
tournament.

NWA White Sox |
Report |
|
League: NWAMSBL
Location:
Bentonville, AR
Key Players:
Andy Miller,
Evan Neiser,
Dustin Wilson
Info: The host team of the Shootout, the White
Sox have played
in the
tournament for
several years.
The White Sox
won the
Shootout in
2005, but have
struggled to
get close
again.
Summary: With
a solid ace in
Neiser, the
White Sox will
compete in at
least one game
of the
tournament.
The offense of
the White Sox
will be facing
a different
level of
pitching than
they are
accostomed.
However, the
Pool will place
the top 2 Tulsa
MSBL teams
against the
White Sox,
challenging
them to win.
Look for the
pitching of the
Tulsa teams to
get the best of
the White Sox
whenever Neiser
is out.

|
League: Tulsa MSBL
Location:
Tulsa, OK
Key Players:
Jason Beasley
(Morehead
State),
Matt Burkhart,
Chuck Shirley
Info:
The Drillers are
making their
first
appearance in
the Shootout.
Summary:
The Drillers are
at the top of
the Tulsa MSBL
and not looking
back.
Combining solid
pitching,
defense, and
hitting, the
Drillers will
look to be very
compettitive in
the Shootout.
The
Numeric Pool
will match the
Drillers
against a group
of solid teams
that could make
the Pool a roll
of the dice.
However, behind
Beasley the
Drillers have
the ability to
shutout anyone
in the
tournament.
Look for them
to be the
favorite of the
Numeric Pool.

like the

led by the
Bunch brothers,

defensive team

brothers in the
top of the
lineup.
The Black Sox
will continue
to pressure an
average
pitching team
and score runs.
the Pool opens
up with the
Drillers and

Conway, AR
Key Players:
Nathan
McCarville
(Hendrix
College), Stan
Chivers(Central
Arkansas),
Hunter
Brooks(Hendrix
College)
Info: The
return of the
Dodgers to the
Shootout will
be a challenge
for the group.
Summary:
With the
Dodgers being a
.500 ball club
in their
league, its
hard to suggest
a positive
outcome for the
Shootout.
With the talent
at the top of
the Pool, the
Dodgers will
look to upset
someone's
party. They
have a mixture
of former
players from
the 2009
Shootout
Runner-Up
Indians in
McCarville,
Brooks, and
Chivers.
