Your Lady Jays beat Seymour by the score of 11-0 in the first round, then beat Gainsville in the second round by the same score.
Morrisville advanced to the championship game by beating Conway 7-0, then getting past Norwood 7-1.
In the 1st place game, it was a battle. Great defensive plays made by both teams, including two seperate plays at the plate, kept the game scoreless through 3 innings.
Morrisville struck first in the bottom of the 4th, but the Jays defense played their way out of a bases loaded, one out jam and allowed only 1 run.
The Jays answered in th 5th, tieing the score at 1-1. It remained that way until the 7th when the Jays added 4 more runs. Two of those runs came by way of the long ball as Baderdeen smashed a 2 run homer that had to travel close to 230 feet. (The fence is at 219 feet in Norwood.) The Jays also added 2 more runs with 2 outs on the board.
Take the time to listen to this game as it was a great game!
