The weekends this summer have been full of softball action and for the Cornerstone Stampede they have also been full of wins. This past weekend the program sent four teams to Wahoo to represent Central City.

The past week was a triumphant one for Central City American Legion Post #6 Juniors and Seniors baseball teams, culminating in an impressive display against Aurora on Sunday. As the undefeated Pinnacle Bank Juniors gear up for the annual Tom McMahon Memorial Tournament this weekend, the teams reflect on their recent successes and look ahead with determination and enthusiasm.

This Wednesday, Central City’s youth baseball teams face off in what promises to be an exciting conclusion to the regular season of Big Ten League baseball action. The 8U, 10U, and 12U teams will battle for bragging rights and town supremacy, with each matchup bringing its own story of successes and challenges.

The Central City American Legion Post #6 teams have wrapped up another fantastic week on the diamond. Both the Cornerstone Seniors and the Pinnacle Bank Juniors displayed exceptional skill and teamwork, solidifying their positions as formidable contenders this season.

From there we held a final round of voting and when the dust settled it was this photo that received the most likes. Hunter Thornton (14) celebrates a pick-6 while teammate Colter Lueders looks on.
