Columbus Day Classic Recap - October 17th, 2012

Columbus Day Classic Recap

9-Under – Fountain Valley Sports Park:

Scoring runs is the name of the game in 9-Under.  SGV Hustle scored a whopping 65 runs over the course of the weekend.  Giving up just 16 runs in four games, they were able to clinch 1st Place for the weekend.

10-Under – Fountain Valley Sports Park/El Dorado Park, Long Beach:

The 10-Under Tournament took teams between Fountain Valley Sports Park and El Dorado Park in Long Beach.  The Gold Bracket made its way back to Fountain Valley for the playoffs on Sunday.  The Tritons got revenge from Saturday’s matchup with the Kings.   An 8-5 victory put them in the finals against 1st Seed Rampage.  Rampage advanced to the finals with a 5-0 semifinal victory.  They kept that energy alive with a Championship win to take home first place.

Oktoberfest Recap - October 9th, 2012

Big League Dreams Riverside

11-Under:

The OC Bandits and Mid Valley Warriors Elite both headed into Sunday with a 2-0 record.  They had both giving up only six runs, and their run differential was only three runs apart.  It’s no surprise that we saw both of them in the championship game.  The 1st and 2nd Seeds battled with out, with the Mid Valley Warriors holding on to an 8-5 lead to win the championship

12-Under:

The So Cal Storm had a long road ahead of them on Sunday.  After winning their Quarterfinal game, they upset the 1st Seed from Pool A to face the 1st Seed from Pool B in the Championship game.  They had met Eaters BBC on Saturday, and despite giving them a run for their money, came up just short 3-2.  Facing them again, they fought hard, but were unable to wake their bats up as the Eaters barely escaped with a 1-0 win.

Fall Classic Recap - September 25th, 2012

The Major League Baseball regular season is coming to a close, but by no means is it going to be an easy road for most teams.  I wasn’t sure what to think of the two Wild Card playoff spots at the start of the season, and I will admit it needs some tweaking, but it has made for an exciting (and stressful) final few weeks of the season.  Baltimore is sitting on top of the AL Wild Card, but with 4 teams nipping at their heels, they are a bad week of baseball away from missing the playoffs.  I’m excited to see how the next few weeks pans out, and to see how the dual wild card pans out.

Big League Dreams

9-Under:
The Orangecrest Crush entered Sunday as the 3rd Seed because of an 11-11 tie on Saturday.  They intended to show why they should have been the first seed on Sunday.  After upsetting the 2nd Seed, they advanced to the finals to face the 1st Seed So Cal Outlaws.  Both teams fought hard, but the crush were able to sneak past the Outlaws 8-6
