Cov Cath repeats as the 35th District champs.

Beechwood led 3-2 at the end of the 1st inning. Cov Cath tied it at 3 in the 3rd inning, and went up 4-3 in the 4th inning. Beechwood tied it back up at 4 in the 6th inning, and then the Colonels started off the 7th inning with two outs and no one on before pulling ahead for the win with 3 late runs in the first half of the inning. The Tigers weren't able to rally in the bottom of the 7th.

Looking ahead to the 9th Region Tournament:

Beechwood now has 4 losses to teams in the 9th with one loss each to Conner, Cov Cath, Highlands and Ryle. They have one win, each, over Cov Cath, Highlands and Ryle.

Cov Cath has 2 losses to teams in the 9th, with one loss each to Beechwood and Ryle. Today also added a win over Beechwood.

Aces for both programs pitch a bunch of  innings. Kappes for BW and Young for CCH. Colonels not only outhit Beechwood 14-8, it seemed their hits were more timely. 
 

Top 4 hitters for CCH collect 11 hits. 
Dierf 3, Reardon 2, Fitz 2 and Lawrie 4-4. 
 

The first round of the region will be very interesting with Conner and Beechwood lurking as “2 -seeds”.
