There are many great Central City baseball moments archived in our collection. It’s been nearly 50 years since the program has hung a championship banner, but this year’s Junior team set out in May with the dream of changing that. It takes five wins at state for them to accomplish the mission, and the Dream Team is now 40% of the way there. Tonight in Valley, they look to make it 60%, and we will be there to connect you with memories from the moments that shape the outcome of the game. Let’s go!
