Rebels 13U Elite Place 2nd at LT Blazers USSSA 14U Qualifier
Created: Sep-16-2014 02:44 PM
The Downers Grove Rebels took second in the USSSA Qualifier in a very closely contested tournament. The Rebels went 2 - 0 in pool play defeating the Lisle Slammers 14U and Palos Power 14U.
They started bracket play against the Mt. Prospect Power, defeating them 4 - 0 in 6 innings. In the semi finals, the Rebels squared off against the BRW Blast 14U team and let a 3 - 0 lead slip away from them late in the game behind a rally from the Blast which allowed them to take a 4 - 3 lead. The Rebels weathered the storm and tied the game in the bottom of the 7th at 4 - 4. Going into international tie breaker the score was 5 - 5 after the 8th inning. BRW took a 6 - 5 lead in the 9th inning and with runners on 2nd and 3rd the Rebels were able to clear the bases with a walk off double to secure the victory!
In the Championship game the Rebels faced the Yorkville Fury and were leading 3 - 2 until the bottom of the sixth when 2 uncharacteristic errors opened the gates allowing the Fury to score 4 runs to take a 6 - 3 lead. The Rebels were not yet finished and in the top of the 7th clawed their way back into the game scoring 2 runs and had the bases loaded with two outs. Unfortunately, despite a 10 pitch at bat, the final out sealed the victory for the Fury 6 - 5. Additionally, the Rebels secured a Bid to Nationals!
Great character was displayed by the Rebels and is something they will continue to build upon for the future! Great Tourney Girls!
