Baseballers Close Successful Season

The BHAA Giants claimed their destiny on July 2 by grabbing the junior little championship in a 8-5 victory over Troy Hill. The Giants came out victorious in a hard-fought game during which the lead changed hands several times. The Giants went undefeated through the playoffs and finally held their first-place trophies high on a drizzly night on Field 4. They got hitting throughout the lineup for the victory.

Down the road at Young Field, the farm league Twins grabbed second place overall with a 6-0 loss to Brightwood Black. The Twins surprised everyone by coming on strong in the playoffs despite struggling in the regular season.

On July 1, BHAA's Yankees finished third in senior little league, dropping their bid for a championship berth to Brightwood Gray 8-7 in extra innings.

July 1
  • Yankees fall to Brightwood Gray, 8-7: Leads changed hands many times in this tight game with a senior little league championship berth on the line. Devonte Stackhouse stirred the crowd early by launching a two-run homer over the right field fence. Andrew Kocay (triple) and Nick Tunstall (double) added offense as well. Heading into the sixth, the Yanks were ahead 7-6 before Brightwood tied the score in the sixth. With two outs and Tunstall aboard in the bottom of the sixth, Brightwood all but intentionally walked Stackhouse to escape the inning. Gray then took the lead in the top half of the seventh and held on for the win. Brightwood advances to battle Perry for the championship tonight. The heartbroken Yankees took home the third place team trophy.
