Brooks has been added to the roster of the Anderson Alley Cats for the 2012 travel baseball season. The team is composed of an elite group of players from Upstate SC that are eligible to play 14U during the season but will most likely play up in most tournaments. The team is composed of 8th and 9th grade Varsity and JV players from Seneca, Walhalla, West Side, and BHP. This team is also going to be playing in a YMCA league through the summer and hope to compete all the way to the State level of that league.
The team competed in their first tournament of the season on this past weekend. Although missing key players who are still in the South Carolina High School League play offs with BHP, the team won both of its games handily on Saturday and put themselves in the 1st seed in the gold division going into Sunday. Some bad luck and a few mishaps put the team out of the championship on Sunday morning but all in all the team had a great weekend and started making relationships and building a team moral for the season. The Alley Cats are sure to have a very successful season.
Brooks had a good day on Saturday even after committing an error at second base after making a diving stop, but his best day was to come. Brooks started the game on Sunday morning against a team from Easley South Carolina. He pitched a near perfect game through 5, giving up no hits, only 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts. He started the 6th by giving up a questionable hit to the right side that took a bad hop on the second basemen and then walking a batter. Brooks was taken off the mound and moved to short stop where he would finish the game and the next game as well with 6 put outs and no errors. His batting and pitching stats for the weekend are listed below.
Pitching: 5 IP, 7 K, 2BB, 1H
Batting: 6-12, .500 BA, 1-2B, 5-1B, 1 BB, -RBI
