The El Segundo Rounders run at the 2005 ASA “C” National Tournament at Stockton, CA came to an end at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, a 6-1 loss to BMC West, Utah, after a dramatic come from behind 9-8 win over A-1 Tank CA in an Sunday evening game. The Rounders trailed A-1 Tank, 8-7, after rallying to tie the game at 6. In the 6th, Linnell Culver hit a home run to center to tie the game, and Gerald Pyle hit a change up into the trees beyond the left field fence for the game winner. It was the same area at the same field that he had lauched a 350′ home run at the qualifier back in May. The Rounders entered the day today, 4-0, but lost a close 2-1 game to Team Taylor this afternoon, sending them into the elimination bracket. The Rounders finished the tournament among the top 8 teams out of 65, with a 5-2 record.
