Nash County Babe Ruth 13u baseball team won the semi final match up with Sarasota Florida and took on Tallahassee Florida the team from their pool play bracket the team they lost to yesterday in a game in which Coach Willie Langley held back his best pitchers knowing they had to win a double header today.
It has turned out if you score on Nash County you win as Tallahassee wins the Southeast Regional 5-2. If five games played during the tournament Nash County pitched three shutouts giving up zero runs. The two games they met Tallahassee they gave up 11.
The day began at 10am in Greenville this morning with two teams from Florida taking on the two teams from NC. The host team Greenville who was seeded second from the National took on Tallahassee the top seed from the American bracket. Tallahassee won by a 6-0 score eliminating Greenville.
Nash County the Eastern North Carolina State Champions met Sarasota Florida the Southern State champs from Florida in the 1pm game and pitching was the order of the day with Nash County winning 1-0 to advance to the 4pm Southeast Regional Championship game. Sarasota in their four games played during the week gave up just five runs but that was not good enough to advance to the finals.
We are all proud of these young men and their coaches in their efforts this summer in Babe Ruth Baseball. Coach Willie Langley had stated in the Rocky Mount Telegram this week that he was somewhat disappointed that they had not hit the ball this week like they had all summer. You know the higher up the ladder you go the steeper the steps and this week Nash County's 13u team has been playing the best teams in all the southeast United States. They are the second best in all of Dixie.
