Game 13:
(This game went back to regulation 7 innings.)
The game was called in top of the 3rd inning due to lightning and heavy rain.
BASES / Trophy Case was leading 5-1 when play was stopped. Jim Potter was pitching for B/TC and Jeff Buckley was pitching for Mayan. Jim DeBeau led off the game for Mayan with a single off the fence but was thrown out at 2nd base by B/TC left-fielder Mike Piehl. Scott Kelly singled in the 1st inning for B/TC. Mayan went down in order in the top of the 2nd inning. Matt Zulski led off the 2nd inning for B/TC with a walk, was sacrificed to 2nd base by Denny Lechowicz, Steve Hopkins walked, Jerry Lechowicz singled in Zulski, Brad Hasse walked to load the bases and Mike Piehl hit a grand slam homerun in the bottom of the 2nd inning to increase the lead for B/TC to 5-0. For Mayan in the top of the 3rd inning, Josh Foye hit a one out solo homerun. Dave DeBeau then laid down a bunt single followed by an error when lightning flashed to pull the teams off the field.
The tournament was cancelled approximately 2:30 p.m. following the lightning and extremely heavy downpour that left the filed unplayable.
Game 13 was not a complete game, so Mayan Agency was awarded 2nd place because they had defeated BASES / Trophy Case earlier in the tournament in head to head competition. B/TC was awarded 3rd place and Saginaw Merchants were awarded 1st place as they were the only undefeated team remaining in the tournament.
