The VBL is webcasting, via Facebook Live, the Southeastern Collegiate Prospect Showcase games, as was done for the VBL All-Star Game. Last night’s (tough watch the bottom of the 9th) video is available to watch, and tonight’s 7pm (time not exact) game will be webcasted at: https://www.facebook.com/pg/ValleyBaseballLeague/videos/?ref=page_internal.
