Sunday 10 am & 3 pm Games

The Rays went 2-1 in pool play, and qualified for bracket play by only allowing ten runs in pool play. They lost 8-5 to Team Georgia in the 10 am Sunday game. Will went 1-3, ling a single to left. He was hit by a pitch and scored a run. He caught. His throw to second arrived well before one base-stealer, who spiked the fielder, kicking the ball out of Austin’s glove.

...At three the Rays run-ruled the East Cobb Patriots, winning 12-0. Will lined a single to right and scored. In his first game playing left field, he hustled to the corner to hold a batter to a first inning single.

...In the fifth the shutout was threatened when a Patriot reached third with no out. The next batter hit a deep line drive to left, Will’s first ball in the air. He broke the wrong way on the ball over his hair, but quickly reversed direction and caught the ball with his momentum going backward. The runner tagged at third and headed home.

...Not really thinking about getting the runner, Will still made a quick, accurate throw to the cutoff man, shortstop Jake. But the runner wasn’t hustling, and Jake fired a high strike home to catcher Cole, who tagged the runner on the head. The umpire called him out, and the shutout was intact.

...Dustin struck out the last batter, giving him the complete game win. He also scored three runs and drove in four, on a double and home run.
