Black Sox show out for Scout Day

The Black Sox Scout Day takes place July 31 at the Russellville High School baseball field. The travel baseball organization created an opportunity for about 100 local players, including many from Russellville and Franklin County, to show their skills in front of 10 college scouts. Athletes in the graduating classes of 2022 through 2025 participated, in hopes of earning college scholarship offers.
