EC Astros 15u Win 15u WWBA

Box Score

The East Cobb Astros 15u team came into the final day of the 15u WWBA National Championship as the #1 overall seed in the field of 138 teams and that’s how they ended the day. They breezed through pool play with a record of 5-0 and only giving up one run and scoring an average of almost 10 runs per contest. Wednesday night they run ruled the Dallas Patriots 9-1, followed up by a pair of run rules on Thursday, beating CBC O’s Navy 10-2 and Action Baseball Club White 15-2.

Friday proved to be tougher challenge for the Astros as they had to come from behind late to sneak past the East Cobb Longhorns who held a 3 run lead going into the bottom of the 6^th inning. The Astros came back scoring 5 runs in the last two innings including a game winning 2 RBI single off the bat of SS Jeremy Howell (2013 East Paulding HS, Dallas, GA).

The Dulin Dodgers went 4-1 during pool play, slipping up against the Georgia Academy TPX Dodgers. Once the playoffs started, they got hot beating Worcester Heat (6-4), LIDS Indiana Bulls (6-2), Carolina Reds (12-3), and the East Cobb Astros 14u (9-1).

The championship game ended up being a rematch of the 2010 14u National Championship game between the Dulin Dodgers and the Astros. In that contest, the Astros won 9-4 to win the rings. In this one, the Dodgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 1^st inning on a Hagen Owenby single, scoring Jonathan Sherman. They tacked on another run in the 4^th inning before the Astros got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the 6^th. An error by the third baseman and two wild pitches resulted in three runs for the Astros and were followed by a bases loaded walk. That was too much for the Dodgers to overcome in the 7^th as the Astros held on to take home the championship rings.

OF Eric Knox (2013 Effingham Co HS, Guyton, GA) of the Astros took home the MVP Trophy after a stellar week of baseball. He batted .565 in 9 games with a double, 6 triples, 13 RBIs, and 12 runs scored. He also threw 4 innings on the mound striking out 4 batters and only giving up 1 earned run.

RHP Chase Slone (2014 Kennesaw Mountain HS, Kennesaw, GA) took home the Most Valuable Pitcher award for the tournament. He picked up 2 wins for the Astros pitching 10 innings, striking out 7 batters and giving up one earned run.
