Super Bowl Classic - Weekly Recap

Well the Super Bowl wasn't quite as exciting of game as people predicted, but the few teams that made it out to Big League Dreams for the Super Bowl Classic gave us something more entertaining to watch.

10-Under:
The BC Prospects approached the weekend just like the Seattle Seahawks.  Striking hard and fast, they easily jumped out to a 2-0 record on Saturday.  Heading in to Super Bowl Sunday as the 1st Seed, they had a tough semifinal game where defense reigned supreme, and took home a 5-3 victory to advance them to the Championship.

Now in the finals, their defense didn't let up, while their offense took advantage of every opportunity.  Putting up 9 runs against the 2nd Seed, they beat the other four teams in their bracket, proving that they were the deserving 1st Place finishers of the weekend.

11-Under:
In their first meeting of the weekend, the Pomona Titans and the Dirt Dawgs fought hard, with the Titans edging out the Dawgs 5-4.  Now faced with a must win game on Sunday, the Dirt Dawgs shut out their fellow 1-1 opponent, giving them the 2-1 record they needed to advance to the Championship game.

Unfortunately for the Dirt Dawgs, history wasn't destined to change on Sunday.  In fact, history repeated itself exactly, with the 1st Seed Pomona Titans edging out another win by the score of 5-4.

12-Under:
Looking for the payback story of the weekend, the BC Prospects were faced with a crucial game on Sunday.  Continuing Pool Play, the 1-1 Prospects needed a win on Sunday to advance to the Championship game.  Not buckling under the pressure, they outlasted their opponents, taking a 4-3 victory into the Championship game.

Now up against the team that gave them their one loss of the weekend, the Prospects were looking for redemption.  Not wanting to to give their opponent any breathing room, the Prospects put up 10 runs, giving them a comfortable cushion in their 10-4 Championship victory.

Thank you for all the teams that played on Super Bowl Weekend.  Here is a list of the Champions and Runner-Ups.


See you on the fields
