Tar Heel District III: Game 3 vs East Chatham #1

Game #3 would be the Championship Game, West Raleigh BIG Reds vs East Chatham #1 (again). THe BIG Reds became Tar Heel District III Champs with a 13-7 win in 5 innings.  The BIG Reds were ready to hit and had 17 hits versus 8 hits for East Chatham #1.  We pulled it out hits and solid D when it counted.  East Chatham #1 made some great plays. Every time East Chatham #1 scored, the BIG Reds came back to put even more runs on the board.  The BIG Reds played like a great team today, winning with with their defense and great base running.  Coach Andrew noted that the boys were really hustling to 1st base, they were listening to him so much better today, and he was able to do a lot more with the base running than ever before.  Great job boys!


BIG Reds' Offense:
Will 3-3, Home Run(!!!), Triple, RBI, 3 runs scored
Drew 2-3, two Doubles, RBI, run scored

BIG Reds' Defense:
Put outs- Will (three times!), Tanner (twice), Andrew, Edward

All the boys got a sticker for the win, and an extra sticker for the championship!  There were two offensive stickers given out today. The first sticker went to Will. Will went 3-3 with a single, triple and an inside the park home run to start the game off right - the West Raleigh way!  He got his own RBI, and scored all three times he batted this game. The second sticker went to Sticks. Sticks went 1-3, with 2 RBI, but he was robbed of a double with 2RBI on a bad foul call by the ump.  He hit the walk off single that scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th to win the game for us.


Winning the Tar Heel District III Championship gives the BIG Reds a bid to the Tar Heel State Tournament in Smithfield.
