We begin our look at the Mid-Atlantic State Games roster by previewing what we can potentially expect from Team 1. First thing that jumps out, is Team 1 has depth on the mound. Quality upperclass arms in Kaiden Takahashi Trader and Braxton Pope headline Team 1. Their depth on the mound is accompanied by a pair of quality receivers (Chamberlain & Chow), as well as some quality offense with guys like Graham Ward and Jimmy Burpoe.
Game Schedule:
G1: vs Team 2 (11/4- 4 PM - War Memorial)
G2: vs Team 3 (11/5 - 9 AM - Nansemond River)
