Mussel Hussle

A dream came true for a group of hard-working young men. In baseball, the Post Oak Little League Mighty Mussels entered the highly anticipated playoff games as a six seed. After three hard-fought one-run victories, the team punched their ticket to the championship and never looked back. After the final pitch was thrown at their last game, the scoreboard read 7-4 in the Mussels’ favor. The crowd celebrated their exciting season.
