Tournament Director Notes: Labadie Auto Sales entered the championship game based on the final pool play game between Rebels and Majestic Taxidermy. If Rebels would have won game #12, they would have been in the championship due to fewest runs allowed and a 3 team tie at 3 wins and 1 loss. Majestic winning the game placed them in a 3 way tie with Munn and Labadie but they had to hold Rebels to 3 or less runs in the game to get into the championship game. Rebels got their 4^th run in the 6th inning of game #12 when they scored 3 runs to make it 7-4 and needed 3 runs in the top of the 7^th to tie. They started off the inning with a double, strike out and RBI single to go 7-5, with a runner at first base and the tieing run at the plate for the next two batters. The first hitter struck out and a long fly ball to the left fielder had some people holding their breath until it came down in glove of the left fielder near the warning track.

Labadie wasted no time in the championship game scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 1^st inning with the help of an error that scored two and then an RBI single. They scored two more in the 3^rd inning with back to back triples and a wild pitch. In the bottom of the 4^th inning, Labadie secured the 7 run mercy differential with a lead off homerun, single, triple and sacrifice fly to get 3 more runs and make the score 8-1. Munn’s only run came on a homerun in the 3^rd inning.

We awarded two outstanding hitter awards due to the significant offensive display in this tournament. Jim Virden from Majestic Taxidermy had 3 homeruns in one game and 2 homeruns in another as he went 11-13, finishing with a .846 average. Scott Larsen from Munn Manufacturing went into the championship game 9-11 and had a long fly out and a walk in the championship to finish 9-12 with a .750 average.

Two weeks ago during the Marquardt tournament for class A & B teams, we made a big deal of 44 homeruns hit in 11 games. This tournament saw 47 homeruns in 13 games. This is somewhat to be expected as pitching is much different in a D/E tournament compared to an A/B tournament.
