Spang-Arnold-Lingenfelter 12U Wins Championship

Created: Jul-14-2016 07:47 AM


DG Rebels went 4-0 to capture the SWS 12U A Tournament Championship.  Keeping with their custom, the Rebels fell behind early in each of their last three games, but fought back to win.  The Rebels scored three runs in their last at bat to secure two of those victories, including the championship game, which required the infield defense to secure the last out with the bases loaded to preserve an 8-7 thriller.  Every girl contributed throughout the weekend on both offense and defense in a total team effort.  These Rebels reinforced the mantra that defense -- and Speed and Control! -- wins championships.
