SCOTTSDALE, AZ — As if you needed another reason to cheer on the Diamondbacks during this improbable run to the World Series, the game two starter for the Snakes started his World Series pursuit at Desert Mountain High in Scottsdale.Merrill Kelly silenced Citizens Bank Park, striking out some of baseball’s best, shocking the sports world like the Snakes have done all postseason.
”I think the main thing is I made sure he got on the bus, that was about it,” said Coach Rice with a smile. That thinking may have changed during Merrill’s senior year in 2007 when Kelly started one of the longest high school baseball games ever played in Arizona- sixteen innings spanning over five hours.
“He just put us on his back and said, we’re going to win, we weren’t expected to win and we went all the way to the state championship game,” said Rice.
