Empire - June 2-3, 2012
One weekend after our Memorial Day Tournaments, we shifted gears with our Empire Tournament. Twenty-Three teams headed out to Big League Dreams Perris to enjoy the brand new and beautiful facilities.
In the 10-Under, 1st Seed No Fear met the 9-Under Cal Select in the championship on Sunday. Cal Select was playing up this weekend and proving that they could hang with the big boys. No Fear pulled of a tight victory against Cal Select on Saturday, winning 3-2. Cal Select had a different outcome for their second matchup in mind. They came out swinging the bats and won the championship 10-4.
The 12-Under division saw the 1st Seeds from Pool A and Pool B heading to the finals. So Cal Pride and Murrieta Wolverines were both undefeated heading into their game against each other. After a hard fought pitcher’s duel, So Cal Pride was able to come out on top with a 3-1 win.
13-Under San Diego Cherokees entered Sunday with revenge in mind. After winning their quarter final game, they advance to play No Fear in the Semi-Finals. No Fear had beaten the Cherokees on Saturday 3-2, but Cherokees came out swinging and one 13-1 to get their revenge. In the finals they would face Riverside SWAT. It took them 8-Innings, but Riverside Swat was able to edge out the Cherokees by the score of 8-7.
The 14-Under was a very interesting tournament. On Saturday, there were three ties in just seven games, and everyone had either a win or a tie. Only No Fear went 2-0, and they intended to keep that streak alive on Sunday, although it wasn’t as easy as they would have hoped. In the Semi-Final game, they had to go 9 Innings before they could edge out a 6-5 win. In the Championship game, they had to go extra innings yet again before scoring 4 runs in the top of the 8th inning to take home first place.
Thank you to all the teams that played out in Perris this weekend. Here is a list of the Champions and Runners Up.
