Team finished as runner-up in extra-inning championship

The 13U Black Easton Tigers were powered by Joey Kelley in their second place finish in the Gametime Fall Slugfest Tournament on Aug. 29-30.  Kelley smashed all previous Easton Tigers tournament records by hitting 5 home runs in the weekend. 

The Easton squad beat the Bandits in the tournament opener by a score of 10-1.  Kelley had 4 RBI.  Game two was an 11-0 combined no-hitter over the Rebels.  In bracket play on Sunday, the Tigers claimed the lead in the third inning to defeat the O'Fallon Cardinals 11-1.  In the championship game, Easton had a 4-1 lead with the winning run on third, but failed to score.  They ended up tying the game and going into extra innings before falling to the Illinois Sun Devils by a score of 11-8.

Congrats to Michael Altobella who hit a grand slam, as well.  Great job to all our Easton Tigers 13u Black players and coaches.
