Ste. Gen, Festus renew American Legion baseball rivalry on KREI & KJFF

(Hillsboro) 2 of the top American Legion teams in the area collide Tuesday on Regional Radio.

Festus Post 253 hosts Ste. Genevieve Post 150 on KREI and KJFF with both teams looking to build momentum for a return run to the state tournament that both teams reached in 2019.

Ste. Genevieve looks to be the hottest team in District 13, with 8 wins in their last 9 games moving them to 11-4.

Post 150 head coach Junie Basler credits their recent success to having a better approach at the plate.

Festus went through a rough patch after a 4-0 start, but they’ve won four of their last five to improve to 10-6.

253 assistant coach Drew Horrell says it starts and ends with their pitching.

The 2 teams split their season series in 2019 with 4 wins a piece.

Ste. Genevieve takes on Festus once again Tuesday evening.

Preagme coverage starts at 5:15 on AM 800 KREI and AM 1400 KJFF.
