The Greenfield team of 11s and 12s lost a close contest to Brawn Jeffrey and then were overrun by 9th Ward, keeping them from advancing in the Morningside tournament.
The tournament framework had to be switched to double elimination to deal with several games being rained out over the weekend.
Against Brawn Jeffrey, the Greenfielders kept it close through 5 innings of play, heading into the 6th trailing 4-3. Will Szustak put in two innings, giving up only one run, and Tommy Zymanski also took the mound.
In the field, Marcus Waller had several good plays at shortstop.
Unfortunately, Greenfield was not able to even things up in the last inning, giving up a few more runs to make the final tally 8-3.
The game against 9th Ward was a case of one team bringing its "A" game while the other team loses focus. Saturday, 9th Ward was the one bringing their best game, which included hot pitching and a grand slam, ending the game early, 15-2.
This younger Greenfield team is gaining valuable experience by playing in 12U Tournaments, even though the road has been rough.
