13u Boca Thunder takes Labor Day Bash Tournament..................
The Boca Thunder won their 3rd USSSA tournament and their fourth tournament overall this year by winning the USSSA Labor Day Bash. After a win and a tie in their seeding games the Thunder were seeded third. The Thunder won their first round game 11-4 with excellent hitting, solid defense and pitching. The Thunder then took on the number two seed and always tough Pembroke Lakes Bulldogs. It was a hard fought game as the Bulldogs played exceptional defense throughout the game along with solid pitching.
The Thunder won the game 2-0 thanks to outstanding performances from their defense and pitching staff. In the finals the Thunder faced off against the number one seeded and perennial powerhouse Panthers Baseball from Coral Springs. It was a close game the whole way as both teams battled right down to the last out. Once again the Thunder counted on their deep pitching staff (using four different pitchers in the championship game) and defense as they held the Panthers to two runs en route to a 4-2 finals victory. The Thunder allowed only 8 runs in the 5 tournament games.
