Carolina Cubs finish 5th out of 200+ teams at WWBA Championships!!

Based on runs allowed, and other teams in the Elite 8, the Carolina Cubs have finished 5th out of 200+ teams at the World Wood Bat Championships in Atlanta,GA. Throughout the whole week, the Cubs played OUTSTANDING baseball, against a VERY tough pool. Kevin Brandt (Fuquay/ECU), Ryan Walker(Orange/UNCW), Mark Peterson(Sanderson/UNCG) and Lance Honeycutt(Triton/ECU) were the stars on the mound, as the Cubs allowed less than 10 runs in 8 games. Leading the way offensively were Thomas Pope(Clinton/UNCW), Corey Thompson(Apex/ECU) and Jeremy Dowdy(Wakefield/App State). Cameron Conner(Fuquay/NCSU) and '09 Ethan Strickland(Triton/Unsigned) both went big fly during the week. The Cubs won their pool outright, and advanced to the field of 32. In game 1, they defeated the Team Elite by a score of 2-0. In game 2, they defeated a VERY tough Mississippi Select team by a score of 5-3. In their 3rd game of the day the Cubs came up against a tournament favorite Florida Bombers squad. The game went scoreless for 3 innings until the Bombers had a big 4th inning, but the Cubs scratched back scoring 3, but eventually coming up short 5-3. It was an EXCELLENT showing by the Cubs and they showed why they have to be considered one of the most talented teams in the Southeast. Congrats Cubs!!

 

Congratulations Cubs!!! Y'all ROCK!!
