After 15 consecutive trips to the Missouri Show Me State Games, the St. Louis Express finally came away with their first tournament Championship.  After knocking off the rival Gateway Indians 8-2 in the Finals, the Express captured their first Show Me State Games Gold Medal.  That Gold helped the Express complete the set after winning Silver in 2015 and Bronze twice before.

 

The Express were led by a dominant pitching staff, highlighted by Devin Pettit's 12K complete game in the Championship Game.  And the offense provided a balanced attack from top to bottom.  Jimmy Keiner led the team with 2 HR and 8 RBI in the tournament.  His 1st inning Grand Slam in the Semi-Finals provided the initial spark of Championship Sunday.

 

This Championship win goes out to all the Express Alumni who competed over the years!
