Final tournament for this years U8 Gahanna Lions Rec All Star Tournament Team. 4 teams (Groveport, Gahanna, Chillicothe Vipers, Vallery Ford from near Circleville). 3 round robin games and then seeding. First up for the Lions were the hosts Groveport Cruisers. The Lions played great defense after allowing 4 runs in the first. The offense had a couple nice innings and pulled out an 11-4 victory.
Next up was Vallery Ford (bunch of freaking chattering hillbillies). A close game all the way with Gahanna edging Vallery 6-5.
Next up was the last pool game against the Chillicothe Vipers. This without a doubt is a team that has played together for a long time. They just had hit after hit, after hit. Final 17-1. Gahanna received the 2 seed and a rematch with Vallery Ford. This was real bad. but the story here was not how Vallery Ford's bats exploded. It was how classless these coaches were. Up 20 runs they kept taking the extra bases. Final 29-1. We were all glad the Vallery went on to get run ruled in the Championship game assholes!
Sunday morning Gahanna faced Groveport for 3rd place. Gahanna scored 2 in the first, 2 in the second and 2 in the 5th. Groveport was only able to get 2 in the 4th. Gahanna won 3rd place medals 6-2!
A great tournament month for the boys. 4 tournaments played, 2- 2nd place finishes and 1- rd place. 7 of the 12 kids on this years team were 7 years old and eligible to tryout again next year. GREAT JOB BOYS!!
