Nashville, Tn – The Nashville Venom, of the Professional Indoor Football League, will be hosting the Columbus Lions Saturday night at Municipal Auditorium at 7:00pm.
Columbus is third in the league in total offense and second in scoring offense. Nashville is second in the league in total defense and is only giving up 42.1 points per game which is tops in the league.
Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville National Blue 9- and 10-year old All-Star team wrapped up its undefeated run through the District 9 Little League tournament, July 3rd, as they defeated the St. Bethlehem All-Stars, 7-4.
Finishing the tournament 4-0, Clarksville National Blue never trailed in the championship game getting out to a 6-0 lead after two inning – including a five-run outburst in the second inning.
Hey look, it's part two! If you missed yesterday's first half of midseason awardage and general shenanigans, click here.
First-half MVP: Justin Upton had the best first month (shocker).
The whole offense was rotten in May. Evan Gattis turned into Johnny Bench during June before getting hurt. Freddie Freeman has been slightly underwhelming since signing his extension. And while Jason Heyward has been tremendous defensively, he was rancid in April (.206, 26 strikeouts) and still can't hit left-handed pitching (abysmal .138 this year, .222 for his career).
But in terms of sheer effect on the win column, you have to point to Gattis, who has almost certainly had more big moments this season than everyone else on that list combined and thanks to Fangraphs, I can prove it.
