18 "CRYSTALS" were passed out...........Did you get one?


The USSSA Fall Nationals lived to its expectations in its first ever Tournament  in the City of Stuart. In dramatic fashion the Champions were crowned and in 3 of its 6 divisions. It was Central Florida teams vs South Florida teams and what a finish in those three championship games.

The 10u Miramar Canes held a 3-2 lead going into the last inning but Central Florida's Hitting Rebels battled back to tie the game and send it into extra innings where it went two extra Innings, before the Hitting Rebels were victorious over the Canes 13-3.

The 11u Division had the West Pines Cobras taking on the Bullets baseball team, both teams entering with a 4-0 record in the Championship Game and a 4-4 tie game going into the bottom of the 5th when Tournament MVP Adam Fernandez hit 225 ft shot over the 8ft center field fence with the bases loaded for a Grand Slam, but Bullets Baseball would not quit, with two outs and runners on 2nd & 3rd a base hit between first & 2nd base looked to tie the game, a strike fired by the left fielder would crush the Bullets as the game ended to preserve an 8-6 win for the Cobras.

The final battle between Central Florida and South Florida was between Leon Medical Center and the Orange County Outlaws and this was another battle to the end, with a 2-1 lead Orange County looked to take back home the Crown for the Nationals and bragging rights for Central Florida vs South Florida............but Leon was not to be denied, as they roared back and score often against Outlaws. Leon went on to win  7-2 and preserve a 2-1 South Florida win over Central Florida teams in Championship Games.
