CLARINDA A's ARE NBC CENTRAL USA REGIONAL CHAMPIONS - the team, with Manager Ryan Eberly (with plaque) and A's board president Gary Ulmer (far left) are pictured after their 7-4 win over the Chillicothe Mudcats.

It took two games Monday evening for the A's to take the title. Going into the championship game undefeated, they lost the first game 15-5 and had to come from a 3-0 deficit to win the double elimination tournament.

Winning the NBC Central USA Regional sends the A's the Wichita, KS for the National Baseball Congress World Series which begins August 1. Clarinda will play its first game of the NBC World Series on Tuesday August 5th with game time yet to be determined.
