Its late June and summer baseball is in full swing. We have baseball going on around the state with several talented clubs competing in numerous tournaments to showcase their ability. In an effort to make sure that the entire state is covered, the PBR Louisiana staff has hit the road to see several players in action. Here are a few notes from early summer action highlighting a few top performers on the mound on the 2020 summer circuit.
