Kentuckiana State: Rookies leave pool play with a #2 seed and beat KY Cannons 9-1 Saturday night, Game 1 of the tournament. Sun. Game 2 vs Eville East Aces (#1 seed): Rookies hot bats tallied 17 runs and outlast Aces 17-10.
Game 3 vs Louisville Hornets (#1 seed): Hornets take advantage of our pitching/defense and score 8 in 1st inning. After 3 innings, we are down 12-3. Rookies dug a hole the size of the Grand Canyon. One hit at a time our boys scored 9 in the 4th to tie the game 12-12 and push us past 90 minute time limit. International tie breaker (runner on 2nd) in effect. Rookies score 1 in the 5th and hold Hornets to 1. Score 13-13. Rookies score 2 in the 6th and hold Hornets to 2. Score 15-15. In the 7th inning Rookies explode for 9 runs winning 24-17. This was the best comeback these boys have had. In the moment, you knew our boys were learning a life lesson on the baseball field!
Championship rematch
from 2015 World Series vs Bombers: Rookies put up 3 in the first but
that would be all as our boys ran out of gas. As physically drained as
our boys were, the coaches and parents were equally emotionally
exhausted as "we believed" through every pitch and play. Good weekend
Rooks!
