Aces Make it Four in a Row!
With the tournament win in College Station, the Texas Aces have now won their last four 12U tournaments of the spring season. With solid hitting, excellent defense, and strong pitching, the Texas aces outscored their opponents 67-4 over eight games. After breezing through the pool games, scoring 37 runs and allowing none, the Aces faced much tougher competition in the bracket games. Although the Aces came out on top in every game, they were all hard-fought victories. There were several nail-biting moments, such as when the Aces walked the first three batters of the first bracket game; when the Blue Sox got two hits in the 4th when the Aces had only a 2-run lead; when the Aces fell behind the Comets in the winner's bracket before the Aces bats busted open the game; and when the Comets had bases loaded with only one out in the 1st inning of the Championship game. The Aces managed to get through it all, and took home the championship trophies (small as they were!) A special congratulations goes out to the San Antonio Cruisers who fought their way back through the losers bracket to take 3rd place. |
