A native of Boonville, Missouri, country music star Sara Evans is slated to perform the National Anthem ahead of Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night.
Boonville, a town about 30 miles west of Columbia, is a hotbed for Royals fans, many of whom are still riding a wave of World Series gusto after their squad notched a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets in a 14 inning battle on Tuesday.
