PBR was out and on the road this past weekend.  Executive Director of Scouting, Brandon Hall, sat at South Mecklenburg HS to watch 5 games featuring South Meck, West Stanly, West Davidson, and Legion Collegiate (SC).  Each game was a timed 2 hour event, allowing coaches to play with their lineups, positioning, and building pitch counts for multiple arms.

The scrimmages were part of the 5^th annual Wage Hope Scrimmages, raising money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.  Proceeds from the gate and concessions went to the cause.
