WICHITA, Kan. -- The 2012 NBC (National Baseball Congress) World Series began tournament play last Saturday but it was action on Wednesday night that had a Texas flavor to it. The Santa Barbara Foresters, defending NBC World Series champions, feature three current Longhorns: Kirby Bellow, Jacob Felts and Taylor Stell. Last night, they earned a 2-1, 10-inning win over the Austin Gold Sox, a team that features current Longhorn Sam Shaw and Texas ex Jordan Etier.
