What a great weekend for baseball!!! The USTBA Georgia Invitational proved to be a great tournament with some very, very competitive teams and games. The first 5 games in pool play were 1 run nail-bitters and the sixth game ended in an 8 inning tie of 2-2.
In the play-off round in the American Division East Cobb & Line Drive had to play 11 innings in the semi finals with a final 3-2 score and Line Drive edging out with the win to advance to the finals against the Kennesaw Clubs. The championship game followed suit in a close game with Line Drive leading 7-6 going tnto the seventh inning. The Cubs were able to put together a seventh inning rally scoring 4 runs and coming out victorious with a 10-7 Championship Title win.
The National Division mirrored the close & competitive games as in the American Division. In the semi finals, Harris County came from behind in the seventh inning against the North Georgia Bears with a 6-3 score, advancing to the finals matching up against the Dug-Out Club Strikers. The seven inning National Championship game was close throughout and either teams game to win. In the end, The Strikers were crowned National Division Champions with a 5-3 win.
We would like to thank all the teams that competed and for the great sportsmanship and competitive example exhibited throughout the tournament.
