Sunday - July 19
at Western Carolina
Final Four: 11:20am - #4 seed TPA Athletics 17's 5, #1 seed Triad Bulls 3 -- FINAL 7 innings
Headline: Bulls unable to overcome 4-run second inning by TPA. Ryan Harrell and Drew Tiano (2 RBI's) lead Bulls at the plate with 2 hits each
TPA scored 4 runs in the top of the 2nd inning and that proved to be too much for the Bulls to overcome.
TPA increased their lead to 5-0 in the top of the 4th. However, the Bulls began to rally. Drew Tiano came to bat with the bases loaded. Craig Colbourne scored on a wild pitch and then Drew Tiano got a big 2-run single down the left field line to score Jay Dixon and Isaac Campbell. TPA lead now only 5-3.
At the end of the 6th inning, the umpires tried to call the game with 7 minutes still on the clock (no new inning after 2 hours). The umps were applying pool play rules, which were no new inning after 1 hour and 50 minutes. After a lot of hollaring and yelling and some phone calls, they finally let us play the 7th inning!
The Bulls mounted a 7th inning threat by loading the bases, but some good pitching by TPA kept the Bulls from scoring and the game ended with TPA winning 5-3.
Leading hitters for the Bulls: Drew Tiano (2-3 with 2 RBI's), Ryan Harrell (2-3 with a double), Davis O'Brien (1-1), Craig Colbourne (1-3) and Alec Widmer (1-4).
