At Forest Glade yesterday, the boys fought hard to win three games out of five in a double elimination format. They won their first games against Riverside 8-3 having cushioned a lead of 5-2 early on. After two straight victories, game three was a hard scramble against the Dimeo team from Holy Names with the end result being a 4-8 loss. They won against L’Essor in a 7-7 tie breaker. Their next two match ups were against Sandwich boys. They ended the tournament on a hard fought 8-4 loss, again narrowly missing a spot in next week’s action.
