Thursday, 26 August 2010 | Written by Reanna Tumlinson |

The Liberal Bee Jays are one out away from winning the national championship at Lawrence Dumont Stadium in Wichita.

Summers, high school games, college careers — their baseball journey to this point has all come down to this.

Former Seward County Saint Tomas Cruz is on the mound and catcher David Masters is set.

A host of current Bee Jays and former Saints, Kelby Tomlinson, Travis Parker, Jared Wagner and Quay Grant, are ready to explode in a celebration.
