((The afternoon barbecue allows the teams to have fun and Clown around.
But when the 8 team tournament opens tomorrow at the Moyers Sports Complex the fun is over.
Kennesaw State won back to back titles in 1995 and 96. And Head Coach Scott Whitlock remebers the title that was won in Salem.)) ((SCOTT WHITLOCK/KENNESAW STATE HEAD COACH:)) ((JULIE EGGERT/ALL AMERICAN FIRST BASEMAN:)) ((And that will be necessary for Kennesaw to claim its third championship in the 90'S.
