Baxter, Tennessee Takes The Crown!

Baxter Tenn. Beats Alabama

Hey ENC buddies, Baxter got to our pitching, we had to many 16s trying to pitch against 5 college kids. You guys were a very good team with a lot of class. We will see you next year. I hope we all can remain friends and keep up with your players as well as ours. We have 11 players returning next year. I am sure we will see you all again. Good Luck with school ball and we will start this all over in about 7 months.

 

Wow
it looks as if that was a great tourney to watch, I have enjoyed keeping up with the updates. Somebody got to win and somebody has got to lose. Looks like great sportsmanship prevailed. Great job to all.
