One of my favorite weekends of the year. I get to run the Gahanna U8 Coach Pitch Tournament at Academy Park. A long weekend of hard work, but soooo worth it. We had 6 teams last year and this year we jumped to 12. 3 game guarantee. 2 Pool games each and then single elimination.
Gahanna drew a good Plain City team first under the lights Friday night. Plain City showed why they finished 3rd in the Teays Valley tournament by winning 10-1. Next up Saturday morning was another Lions squad, this one from Bexley. A close game that Gahanna pulled out 10-5. The 1-1 record and the 15 runs allowed gave Gahanna the #4 seed and a first round bye in elimination.
Sunday morning the #5 seed Crossroads team came and the Lions played great defense and knocked them off to move into the semifinals against #1 seed New Albany. This was a close game, a couple keys hits in the top of the 6th and the Lions prevailed 7-6 to move into the championship against #2 seed Plain City.
The championship game was a carbon copy of the Friday night game. The Pioneers played great defense and put together a few rallys. The Lions could not dent the plate. Final 10-0. A great tournament for the boys (3-2). 2nd place out of 12 teams and some hardware to boot! Next weekend at a tournament in Baltimore, OH.
