Team Summaries Sun Devils Notes:
What a game!!! Great pitching and top notch defense led to a fast-paced, exciting afternoon of epic LL baseball.

Even though the pitchers dominated, there were key hits from both sides.
- Alex C-S and Maggie knocked in the first three 'Cat runs in the 4th
- a hard hit ground rule double from Braden brought the Devils all the way back to tie in the 7th
- the 'Cats defense held firm in spite of the Devil's getting runners in scoring position in the 10th, 11th, 12th
- in the bottom of the 13th, Braden led off with a hard hit that got through the infield, stole second, and then after Sam walked, Matt M came through with hard hit up the middle that scored Braden with the walk-off run.

Very cool to see all the smiles from both teams - everyone knew they'd been a part of something special.

Quick side note - the bench guys on both teams had some outstanding work reinforcing superstitions and lucky charms as the game rolled on. No doubt that's what kept things so tight!!!
