LAWRENCE FREE STATE VS. LAWRENCE

Ben Graves, INF, Lawrence Free State, 2027
Oral Roberts signee. Graves put together a strong performance at the plate for Free State, collecting a pair of hits in a tough left-on-left matchup, including lacing an RBI double. Arguably the top defender in the state, Graves is heating up offensively for the Firebirds just at the right time as they make their push down-the-stretch.
