One Step To Semi's

Nash County 14u Babe Ruth All Stars have advanced to the semi finals of the Southeast Regional Sunday after they beat Monroe Al 8-3 to survive after losing the opening game in their  American Pool and fought back with three straight wins.  They now wait for rest of tonight's Regional action to finish to see if they play Fernadina Beach Fl or Lawrenceburg Tn.


Last year the Nash County Babe Ruth 13u team lost the Southeast title game to knock them out of the World Series.  Almost to a player everyone now as 14 year olds are back hoping to at least go one step further than last year and make the. Babe  Ruth World Series in Ocala Fl.

Their first game this week was a lost to what now looks like the best team in the American bracket Key West Fl 5-2.  A 12-2 win over Union County NC on Thursday gave Nash County hope that they could still reach their dream.

This morning forced into playing two games weather permitting after Friday was washed out Nash County beat McLean-Great Falls Virginia this morning in the first game of the day winning 3-2.  This victory which now makes Nash County 2-1 in pool play allows them to play tonight's 9pm game against Monroe Al a win and we are in.  Depending on how every one else does in their two games today it is possible that 2-2 and win the tie breakers is still possible to make the semi's but a straight up win and they are in.

They play at 9 tonight, I'll know around 11pm if there is good news or not.
