Lake Erie Storm 12U goes .500 in Geauga Knights Classic!

The Lake Erie Storm 12U boys had another good weekend going 2-2 in the Geauga Knights Baseball Classic from June 10-12. The boys once again played some very good fundamental baseball with some excellent pitching and good defense, though just couldn't find many holes at the plate as they hit into a lot of loud outs all weekend and just were never able to string together several hits in an inning.

That said, they played in three hotly contested ballgames in pool play against some good pitching and very sound defensive teams losing 4-3 to the Diamondboys, winning 8-7 over the Kenston Bombers and losing 5-4 to the Lake Erie Warhawks White before beating Grand Valley 11-5 in a consolation game. They lost two one run games to the two teams who ended up in the finals.

The highlight of the weekend was a comeback from a 6-0 deficit in the late innings to Kenston and a walkoff single to left field in the bottom of the seventh by Anthony Clark to bring home Cole Marut! Great win and exciting finish boys! While they did not place in the tournament they played three very good pool games that were all decided by one run against three very good games. Congrats on another strong showing!
