Wilson baseball coach Andy Hall said it both during and after Wednesday’s 7-3 victory over Long Beach Poly: “Baseball is a silly game.” The Bruins have admittedly not been playing close to their best baseball this season, while the host Jackrabbits entered the game riding high with an unblemished Moore League record.
