13U Cobras surprise a few teams in Thanksgiving Tournament..................
The Cobra’s Carlos Valdez tags out the Tsunami’s Rickey Marrero on a play at the plate.
After a disappointing early exit in the FPBL league playoffs the Cobras were not about to let that get them down and this weekend's tournament prove to them and many others that they belong with the big DAWGS in travel Baseball.
After going 1-1 in pool play the Cobras went to work and defeated the SF Suns 15-3 but their biggest challenge was up next when they would face the SF Extreme one of the better teams playing in the South League, well the Cobras put on a spectacular display of defense and baseball fundamentals and would cruise to a 6-2 victory against the Extreme, but it wasn't over as they would go against the team that knocked them out of the league playoffs, but this time the Cobras were not to be denied, as the Cobras would move on to the Championship Game with a 6-0 win over the Margate Titans.
The Cobras would see Team Tsunamy in the championship game although the two battled and there were many opportunities for the Cobras to pull it out..........but on this day Tsunamy was a bit stronger and defeated the Cobras 6-4...........but they proved to all............ that they belong with the BIG Dawgs !
