Chaparrals beat the Dragons
March madness takes over the Chaparrals
March 11 - 13, 2005
The Chaparrals had a great start winning both pool games. They beat the Dallas Panthers (Black) 14-2 and held the Brownwood Lions 0-7. Then the Chaparrals came back on Sunday and knocked the Denton Vipers out, after allowing one run in the 1st and holding them scoreless in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings until they added 2 runs in the 5th. But still, the Vipers couldn't catch up to the 7 runs they allowed. Well, well, well....we meet up again - to the Texas Rockwall Sports. This was a very close game! The game started out neck-n-neck at 6-5 (the Sports are ahead), until the Chaparrals pulled away and scored three runs in the 2nd inning, holding the Sports to 6. The 3rd inning had both teams on the edge of their seats, Chaparrals scored one run, while the Sports scored two. The Chaparrals are now up by 1 point (8-9) with last bat. It's do or die for the Sports. Do they pull it off?? NO! Chad Young comes in to close the game, striking out all three batters!! Now the Chaparrals face the Southlake Green Dragons. Talk about a nail biter...both teams showed awesome defense and offense. No one could score! The Dragons were the first to get on the board with one run in the 1st inning, until the Chaparrals scored three in the 4th. Both teams went scoreless in the 5th and again the Chaparrals had last bat. The Dragons gave a tough fight but came out short in the end. Chaparrals win the champion ship 3-2 and with ony 9 players the entire tournament. We'd like to extend our thanks to the Southlake Dragons players, coaches and parents for a great, clean game.
