Jones Twins Advance To State Tournament:

Trail's play by play man, Shawn Mullin has been doing a great job at covering the Trail Jays baseball team wich features Vernon Vipers twins, Connor & Kellen Jones. I copied some of what Shawn has posted on his Smoke Eaters Blog,

The Trail Jays advanced to the Idaho State Tournament. The Jays beat Cranbrook and Lewis-Clark to start the double elimination North Idaho District Playoffs. The wins put Trail into the finals of the tournament and when Lewis-Clark made it through the loser bracket to get to finals as well it guaranteed Trail the top seed from their region. Lewis-Clark is hosting the State Tournament so they had a special "host" seed and as such it didn't matter who won the district. Kellen Jones got the win in Saturday's game over Lewis-Clark and Connor Jones picked up the save. Jays Manager Nick Schuerman says he'll be counting on the twins for big innings if they have any shot of winning State.

The Jays had their season banquet last night and both Jones Brothers took home some hardware.
