State Championships

Last night the 14U Anderson YMCA Junior League Baseball Team won the State Championship in Easley SC.  The team had a great tournament with some great hitting, pitching, and Fielding from all the players.  I would say there were more highlights than I can share in one entry.
In the championship game Brooks started the game on the mound and moved to third as Blake Holliday came on in relief.  Brooks was 2 for 3 and had a clutch sacrifice bunt in the 5th to get a runner over and eventually he was scored by the next batter.  Most of the Anderson teams games have been blowouts this year but the team from Blue Ridge SC came to play last night.  Blue Ridge was up 3-2 in the 7th and had the Anderson team down to its last strike with a runner on 3rd.  A hit tied the game and brought Brooks to the plate with 2 outs and a runner on first.  With 2 strikes Brooks hit a double into the right center field gap ending the game and winning the state championship.  Great tournament and looking forward to the South Eastern Regionals in a few weeks.
