Last week we started off playing UA Elite on Wednesday. We had the weekend prior to the game off so we struggled to get things going against them. It ended up that we were down 3-0 going into the top of the 6th inning (we were visitors) and we finally got the bats going and scored 4 in the 6th. Then held UA in the bottom of the inning to win the game.
 
Over the weekend we were in the always Rainy MM Tournament. We played in the rain Friday night against Olentangy Huricanes and won 14-2. We had a HR by Garret Gray and Zack Mon to pretty much break the other teams back. Then because of rain delays we didnt play the following day until late. In that Game we played against the Fairfield Union Falcons. We had a no hitter thrown by Jacob Glanzman and we won the game 14-0. That was the end of pool play.
 
We were seeded #2 and had to win 3 games to win it all. Game one started with a really tough Jackson Bears team. We battled with them and won the game 4-2. Zack Mon went 6 innings strong in that game to hold them down for the victory. In Game 2 (the semi-finals) we had to grind it out against the Ohio Playmakers. We kept getting runners in scoring position and couldnt get a big hit. We were the home team and in the bottom of the 5th we were down 2-1 with a man on 3rd and 2 outs. Cameron Jenkins had a basehit to tie the game as we went to the 6th. In that game Jacob Glanzman pitched 5 strong innings. We ran him out for the 6th but he ran into trouble and we gave up 2 runs to go back down 2 runs. In the bottom of the 6th we had bases loaded and 2 outs down by a run and Nick Salyer drew a walk to tie the game. Cameron Jenkins then hit a walkoff basehit to win the game. 
 
In the finals Olentangy Blue Thunder we rolled. Beating them 11-1 in 4 innings to finish up the Championship a 9:30pm Sunday night!
 
We have now ran our record to 22-1 and hope to continue playing good baseball this coming week.
