Grove City Tournament

A tough day at Windsor Park made tougher by a tough draw. Two of the better U10 teams in the state were placed in our pool. First up after a rained out day Friday and delays on Saturday. We finally got on the field around 5:00 against the Cincinnati Stix. Cael Baker went deep in the top of the first and after 2 innings the Lions led 2-1. A very costly dropped fly ball in left open the flood gates for 4 unearned runs and paved the way for the 8-2 loss. Jackson Wolf and Cael Baker both pitched great but the Lions only managed 3 hits.

Next up was Central Ohio Select. Hitting was suspect again. Pitching was pretty good, but the defense was just not there. The Lions were jumped on and fell in 4 innings 23-3.

The third pool game was scheduled for 8:00am Sunday morning. The Westerville Wildcats however did not want to come back for a meaningless game (their words). Gahanna was awarded a 6-0 forfeit victory but did not qualify for the elimination round.

Next game @Olentangy on Tuesday
