Goose Creek Diamondbacks

DIAMONDBACKS BOYS BASEBALL
1st Place, 10U
Spring Shootout, Aiken, SC
April 19~20, 2008

The 10U Goose Creek Diamondbacks finally made it happen this past weekend, April 19-20, 2008.

     They had been knocking on the championship door all year and finally just decided to knock the door down. They posted 37 runs over a four game stretch and went 3-1 to take the first place trophy at the Spring Shootout in Aiken South Carolina. The Diamondback team put themselves behind the gun by dropping the first game 9-1 to a very good Major division team and regrouped themselves to show no mercy the rest of the weekend.
     After regaining their composure the second game and winning 11-5 they walked through the next two games on Sunday carrying some big sticks and flashing some great leather. The Diamondbacks won the last two games 13-4 and 12-2 to take their first championship of the year.
     Congratulations to the 10-u Diamondbacks and their success in this tournament. The team will be playing locally the next two tournaments; May 3-4 in Summerville and then again on May 17-18 in North Charleston.
