The 2019 Kimball Express’ baseball season came to sudden end at the hands of a good Luxemburg Brewer’s team, 5-2. After advancing to the State Minnesota Amateur Baseball Tournament 4 of the past 5 years, another lengthy post-season wasn’t to be.

As I look back on the season, it just really never came together as a baseball team. Finishing with a 8-9 overall record, there were little things that went wrong to determine the outcome of each of those losses

All in all, it was another successful season with a great bunch of guys, playing the great game of baseball.

Thanks to all the supporters of the Kimball Baseball Association who help provide a ball field facility that all ages utilize throughout the spring and summer.

Also, thanks to the Kimball Legion Club for providing ice throughout the season. And finally, the Tri-County News for providing game coverage throughout the season.
