Team repeats as state champions in Webb Park tourney

The Easton STL Tigers 16U Grey team came from behind in their first pool game to win then never looked back, as they went on to win their second consecutive USSSA Missouri State Championship June 28th in Oak Grove, MO. 

After winning the AA State Championship in 2014, they were automatically moved up to the AAA level for 2015.  Their pool victories over the Red Devils and KC Blue Rocks gave them a bye before their title match with Grandview's Wully Bully.

The Tigers defeated Wully Bully 7-5 for the AAA MO State title on Sunday to bring home the hardware.  The Grey team is coached by veteran coaches Eric Estes and Paul McKee.

This marks the fifth consecutive year that the Easton Tigers organization has had a USSSA State Championship title.  In 2011, the 15U Black team became the first Tigers team to win the tournament.  There have also been two second place finishes during that time.
