   The Eagles got off to an early lead in this tournament game, and it was a good thing. Up by a score of 10-3 at one point, the boys in Navy Blue and Old Gold almost let Crockett steal this one.

   Eagle bats combined for 12 hits in just 5 innings of plate appearances in the tournament-shortened game. Charles Morton had 4 hits (and 4 RBIs), Daniel Fabian had 3 hits (and 2 RBIs), and Jason Rangel had 2 hits. Matt Hohertz, Airrik Martinez and Daniel Leal each had 1 base hit. Richard Rogalewski had an RBI on a sacrifice fly.

   Rogalewski got the win, and Rangel is credited with a save.
