Brunswick County now has two local baseball teams with high school and college players who are enjoying the rejuvenated popularity of baseball while working toward a chance at pro ball. Carolina Buzz had the chance to attend the game between the Shallotte Shallywags and the Oak Island Loggerheads. Both teams are part of the Old North State League. We meet The Shallywags General Manager and Mascot -- who is the same person -- Steve Prokop -- who is not only making baseball a reality for the players but also an entertainment venue for locals and summer visitors -- with a flair of Savannah Banana Style. We give you a feel for these nighttime outings you will enjoy with family and friends. Here are both teams' websites to see their upcoming schedules: www.shallotteshallywags.com and www.oakislandloggerheads.com
In our next episodes we will talk about how locals are housing some of the players who live out of town and about the technology you can see at West Brunswick High School to make the players better players while giving people more access to the games.
