"Our pitching has been very solid the last couple of games, which has given us a chance to win ball games," commented team manager Jake Williams. "It seems like we are really starting to gel as a team, which is a good thing because we start our tournaments in the next couple of weeks. I'm super-proud of these kids, they have started to show up to the ballpark every day ready to compete."
