Mississippi Stars top Team Ontario 9-0 in NABF High School World Series Championship

The Mississippi Stars had their fair share of close games in the tournament; however, the championship game was not one of them as they scored a run in the first and exploded for five in the second. They never looked back as they routed Team Ontario 9-0 in the 2004 NABF High School World Series Championship in Millington, Tenn. Tuesday afternoon.

The championship win by the Stars was only the second title by an out-of-state team during the five-year tournament history at USA Stadium. 

Brantly Clay picked up the Tournament MVP award, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI in the championship game.
