BACK TO BACK H5A CHAMPIONS
We won the Fall Championship last year and now we have taken the Summer Championship. Actually three championships in a row if you count the last tournament qualifier in the Fall, and don't get me started on last weeks tournament.
The first game Saturday saw good pitching from Jarrod Boyle and Austin LaFoy. And plenty of hitting from almost everyone. Efren Garcia and Justin Law each had three hits Austin Zillweger and Sam May had two hits each and Chris Inocencio and Ryan Knebel both smacked the ball around and Tyler Nelson and Jarrod also hit well. Brady May added an RBI and threw one from center field into the opposing team dugout that hit the back wall on the fly. One heck of a throw. If that ball went any further it would have needed a flight attendant. No harm done as we won 13 - 6, and Brady had two hits in the second game.
On Sunday we beat the Banditos in the first game and went on to win the Championship game without any real threat. Tim Carroll and Justin Law had very good tournaments as both batted over .700 for the weekend. Brady May and Logan Boyd teamed up for the win against the Banditos and Justin went six strong innings in the final with Jarrod Boyle finishing the seventh inning for the save.
