10U Longhorns Win 1st Place, 9U Longhorns Win 2nd Place in SuperSeries CVVX Tournament

The 10U Team took 1st place in the Ozzie Smith CVVX Midwest Madness Tournament on May 17. Nine teams participated in the tournament and the Longhorns were seeded 1st after pool play. Their first bracket game was against the BH Diamond Stars which they won 3-0. It was a hard fought defensive game. In the championship game, the Longhorns faced the Chesterfield Chargers. The Chargers had some great pitching and had the Longhorns down 2-0. But in the fourth inning the Longhorn bats ignited. That along with some aggressive base running and the Longhorns came up with 8 runs. That was all they needed to take control of the game. They shutdown the Chargers and came up with an 8-2 victory to win 1st Place! Congrats to the 10U Longhorns for a game well played.

The 9U team took 2nd place in the same tournament. After a storm-shortened game Friday evening that left the team a bit disappointed, they battled back on Saturday for a huge 18-3 win that earned them the chance to play in the championship game. The boys hung tough behind strong pitching and defense, and were only a hit or two away from blowing the game open. Our opponent stuck with their ace who somehow found the gas to keep going, and in the end the 8-6 score was indicative of a hard fought battle between two evenly matched teams. Congratulations to the boys on this important and exciting finish!
