LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO) – The best players from all across the Coastal Plain League battled in the batters box and on the mound Sunday night, seeing who’s fundamentals were stronger and talents could lead them to victory and bragging rights.

The National team, including the Blowfish, defeated the American team 26-15, out-bunting, hitting, and pitching the other side.
While each group was working towards a win, all were excited to enjoy the night and make the most of Lexington County rolling out the welcome mat.
