Congratulations to the Middle School Blue baseball team who beat Davis, 5-2, to win the league championship. The game couldn't have been scripted any more riveting than it happened, with a pitcher’s dual that included a total of 32 strikeouts between the two teams. The game was fueled by the determination and grit of Casey Bowman (8th) who was on a mission to throw a complete game and delivered 19 strikeouts for the WolfPack.



Carter Huffman (8th) started the WolfPack momentum with a triple in the first inning and eventually scored for a 1-0 lead. The critical inning of the game came in the eighth inning when Davis had a runner at first and third with no outs and the game tied 2-2. Davis hit a hard fly ball to right field which was caught by Parker McKinney (7th) who gunned it to home to hold the runner at third. After the Davis coaches intentionally walked their big hitter to load the bases, Casey struck out the next two to get out of the inning. The game was in a 2-2 tie when Casey’s bat broke the tie with a two-RBI double to take the lead 4-2 in the top of the ninth.



Jacob Pitts (8th) was in command behind the plate providing the leadership and defensive stops for a complete game. At 10:50 p.m. and after almost three hours of play, the Pack celebrated with a Gatorade-splashed dog pile. This was the Pack's 10th win of the year and second consecutive championship!
