The Saline Hornets won the 13U Indiana AA World Series last weekend.
The Hornets, coached by Scott Tousa and assistants Mike Muir and Rod Conley, were undefeated in the double elimination tournament until they reached the championship. Saline lost to the Kentucky Vipers. That set up a winner-takes-all championship game that began at 10 p.m. Sunday night.
Saline won 3-2.
Of the 11 Hornets, 10 are rising eighth graders at Saline Middle School. They are Roman Laurio, Jackson Muir, Tate Bezeau, CJ Carr, Cade Tousa, Zach Fidh, Marco Morrison, Sam Miller, Garrett Baldwin and Jackson Conley. Ann Arbor's Will Kremer also played for the Hornets.
CJ Carr pitched a complete-game two-hitter in the championship game.
Kentucky took an early 1-0 lead but the Hornets tied it. The Hornets scored two runs in the top of the seventh. Kremer singled and took second on an error. Tousa bunted him over to third. Baldwin hit a line drive past the rightfielder to score Kremer and then scored himself.
In the bottom of the seventh, Kentucky scored a run to make it 3-2. They had a runner on first when Carr got the last out on a great catch by Roman Laurio in centerfield.
The Hornets won the AA Michigan championship three weeks ago and play for the Michigan World Series this weekend.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 76 and low of 53 degrees. Overcast for the morning, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the afternoon, mist in the evening, partly cloudy overnight.
What a SCAM!
As I recall the initial CARES Fund it was a combined funding of School District and Community Facilities. As I recall, the initial pitch in 2000 or so was that the new High School Pool would be available for community use when not being used by the High School.
