  2. It doesn't appear the KHSAA play-by-play animation is operational yet, but The Fan dudes report that McCracken has runners on second and third with two out in the top of the first inning.

    "First team that jumps out in the lead has the advantage," says one of The Fan dudes, and you can't argue with that one.
