Barton claimed the number one seed in the United Dairy Ohio Valley Baseball League on Sunday as they beat Neffs 17-0 and Maynard 3-1. Game one was in control from the 1st inning. Barton received a 6 inning 14 strike-out outing by Zach Fairbanks as he cruised to the win. Joel atkinson was 5-5, Kirk Smolenak was 4-4 and George Laase was 3-5 with two doubles in the 22 hit attack. Game two was a battle for 1st place as the winner would get the #1 seed for the 2009 playoffs. Barton's Zac Campbell threw a great complete game (eight innings) 1 run game in route to the win. The game was deadlocked at one all until the bottom of the 8th when Ryan Kreiter led the inning off with a single and George Laase on his first pitch went deep for a walk-off homer to win the game 3-1. The huge crwod on hand was going crazy as the Braves clinched 1st place. The playoffs begin Wednesday with all teams except for Barton playing to see who will match-up against each other in the first round of the playoffs. Barton will be at home on Friday at 6:00 with the opponent to be determined. The Braves are now 16-3 on year. Barton is back in action again Friday at home against TBD at 6:00.

As a result of the scheduled OVBL league meeting, the league managers and officials voted, that the Ohio Valley Baseball League will now be exculsively wooden bat.
