Canton Tourney...The Jakes played their hearts out on Saturday battling their way through a couple of teams that they have had trouble with in the past. Being without their 1 and 2 hitters, the Jakes battled adversity with timely hitting and great pitching early to take the win over Ms Heat. Caleb Roberson hit a bases clearing triple to give the Jakes some cushion taking a 6 run lead in the top of the 4th inning. Chance Wilson held the Heat to just 3 runs through 4 innings before being pulled in the 4th so he could pitch the next day. The Heat came roaring back in the last 2 innings to take the lead in the top of the 6th by 2, but the Jakes got runners on to tie the game with a runner on third. That's when KD hit the gap to score Chance to take the victory.
The Jakes then played Elite, which is the old Philly bunch. Tough game? Not really. Riley Self worked his magic on the mound allowing just 2 runs before being pulled in the 4th and Denver came in to finish them off. Heath, Denver, Riley, TD, and the boys each had hits in the game to put it out of reach.
After the runs allowed gave us the #2 seed, we had to face The Heat again in a low scoring game. Our bats never could get going but showed a lot of class when the game was over to the eventual State Champion Ms. Heat. Kolby, KD, and TD each had triples in the game but wasn't quite enough as the Heat showed why they were deserving of the Championship later in the day. Their defense rose to the occasion. Hope to see them next year for redemption.
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!! PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!
