The A's took a team to the labor day tournament this year and did very well!

The teams first game vs Monmouth County Thunder was played at 4pm on saturday, (GPMABL Yankees) Kevin Reilly hit a grand slam in the 7th inn to tie the game at 5. The game ended up going extra innings before the A's pulled out an 8-7 win to go to 1-0 in the tourney.
Game 2 was played on saturday night in northfield under the lights against the 5th ranked team in the country, the florida rangers. It was a back and forth battle between the two teams. There was a 3 hr time limit on the game and it went 7 innings, the final score was A's 8, Rangers 8. Putting the a's at 1-0-1.
Game 3 was played on sunday morning in Ocean City vs the Connecticut A's, once again the a's found themselves down late in the game, a late rally tied it in the 8th and in the 9th Billy Mason delivered to knock in the game winning rbi and put the A's in the semifinals!
Game 4 Semifinals vs TRI STATE TITANS
After some bad blood in 2006 with this titans team, the A's were looking for revenge and they got it! The titans got off to a 3-0 early lead but the A's stormed back with 11 runs by the 5th, The a's crusied the rest of the way to win 11-6 and get to the championship game! Unfortunately A's rbi man Billy Mason suffered a wrist injury while swinging and could not go.
Game 5 Championship vs Monmouth County Thunder
The championship game was played early monday morning in Northfield, the thunder got off to an early 2-0 lead and it stayed that way til the 7th when the A's added 1 to make it 2-1 the thunder got a hr from their leadoff man to make it 3-1. But just like the rest of the game the A's fought back in the 9th, had runners on 1st n 2nd with two outs and (phillies) Dan Fox came to the plate and had a seeing eye single, unfortunately (phillies) Joe McCabe got thrown out at home on a heads up play by the Thunder ss to win them the ship.
We did not expect to do as well as we did and everyone had a blast over the weekend! Looking forward to next tournament! A's runner up in 18a naba ac labor day tourney!
