In game 2
It was the Alan Zimmerman Law Office Pirates defeating the Bott Mechanical White Sox 12-8
The Pirates finished the regular season and took home the hardware after being crowned division champions with a record of 13 wins and one loss. Tuesday night at the field of dreams was both a special and melancholy night as not only did the river pirates win the first game of the city tournament 12-8 over the American League White Sox, but they also said their final goodbyes to teammates Alvaro Camaras and his little brother Martene – who are returning home to Spain permanently. Alvaro and his little brother scored three runs and Alvaro had two strikeouts. Quinten Poe hit a grand slam home run and a single, leading the Pirate attack with six RBIs and two runs scored. Dexter Freeman also had a home run, a base hit, had three RBIs, and closed the game out in the last inning with two strikeouts. Tynliegh Cattin had a double, a single, and scored a run in the victory. Last but never least, Braxton “Jokerman” Wakefield had his first hit in little league baseball. It was a night filled with joy and with tears as Martene and Alvaro played their last little league game and left the field of dreams with their mom and dad to board a plane in the morning to take them home to Spain. An age old question has now been answered…. there is crying in baseball.

Angel Hubbard went 2 for 3 and scored 2 runs.
Quinton Cole was 1 for 1, 2 walks, 2 RBI
Aaleyah luttrell – 1 for 3, 1 double, 2 rbi
