Autumn Classic at Baseball USA 8u/7u Gladiators

[Lazeek]

The Gladiators 8u and 7u competed in the Autumn Classic at Baseball USA (Houston) this weekend.  Both teams played in the 8u Division.  The 8u team lost their first game to the Kingwood Dynasty 5-4.  They won their 2nd game 8-2 over the Houston Sluggers.  Both teams were 8u teams.  The Glads (8u) were seeded 4th and faced the same team that beat them yesterday and got revenge by beating them 13-6 after giving up 5 runs in the top of the 1st to the Dynasty.  Then the Glads who made it to the Semis lost a heart breaker 14-13 to the Houston Rangers.  The Glads had faced a 6 run deficit and tied it up in the top of the 5th.  Then more fielding errors cost us the game in the bottom of the 5th.  As a team the Glads hit the ball well all weekend and fielding was the difference.  The Houston Rangers did win the Championship over the Texas Lumberjacks 10-9.  So with the Glads losing two by only a single run and the Rangers winning by only a run it was obviously anyone's tourney.  Great showing for the 8u Glads in their first tourney together.  

The 7u team as I said played in the 8u division also.  They faced the Lufkin Blaze and lost a close one by only two runs and then lost to the Texas Lumberjacks yesterday afternoon.  They went in as the #7 seed and once again had to face the Lumberjacks this morning and once again they were defeated by the Lumberjacks.  Still a great showing for this 7u team to compete in the 8u division.

Next tourney for both teams is this weekend at Ford Park!!!
