Game 1

FW Rebels 6

BN Texas HSP 4

FW Rebels can hold their heads high with the knowledge that they were the only team to defeat BN Texas HSP who went on to win the tournament championship.  The story of this game was the complete game victory for starter Coleman Peck.  Peck tossed 5 innings allowing just 2 earned runs scattering 4 hits while walking 3.  He was in control the entire game and pitched around some defensive miscues.  After falling behind 1-0 in the first, the Rebels plated 4 in the bottom of the inning.  Jace Franke singled to leadoff.  Evan Smith then walked and Wyatt Baccus singled.  Brady Franz lined a 2-run single to left to make it 2-1. Quentin Enos added an RBI ground out and Charger Nguyen clutched up for a 2-out RBI single to right. BN Texas HSP scored solo runs in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings to tie the game at 4.  Peck through a scoreless 5th inning and the Rebels came to the plate needing just a run to win.  Franke leadoff by being hit by a pitch.  Evan Smith singled Franke to 3rd.  After Smith stole 2nd, BN Texas decided to intentionally walk Baccus.  Brady Franz once again lined a single to left to score two runs to make it 6-4.  BN Texas then went to change pitchers which ended the game due to the time limit.

The visiting Rebels got on the board first.  Evan Smith crushed a 1-out double followed by a Wyatt Baccus walk.  Smith scored on a fielders choice grounder from Brady Franz.  It was Franz's 10th RBI of the tournament.  Quentin Enos followed with a deep 2-run HR over the right center field fence to take a 3-0 lead.  Rebel pitchers had a difficult time finding the strike zone in the first and gave up 6 runs to fall behind 6-3. After 3 innings it was then 10-3.  Still, the Rebels fought to get back into the game in the top of the 4th.  Quentin Enos singled to open the frame.  With one out, Coleman Peck singled to center.  Charlie Rusk then walked to fill the bases.  Christopher Calabrese was hit by a pitch to make it 10-4.  Evan Swindell and Jace Franke then both walked to make it 10-6.  Evan Smith hit a deep fly to left center that was caught and Calabrese scored to make it 10-7.  That's all the Rebels would score.  The Expos sent 11 batters to the plate in the 4th and scored 7 runs on just 4 hits to put the game away.
