The LB Black Sox reign as Kings of Beaumont at the 4th of July came to an end after four years, during which time the Sox did not lose a single game. The Sox finished a more than respectable third in the 2010 Beaumont tournament.
From the Sox website:
The Long Beach Black Sox fell 8-2 to The Casa Trejo Bombers which ended their 4 year reign of this tourney. The Sox fell behind early 3-0 as Cecillio Smalling on loan was roughed up early. He would settle down and pitch well until the Bombers opened up with 5 in the 6th to end the game. The Sox scored 1 in the 2nd on a Joe Janicke single and stolen base and a Ron Rupp RBI single. In tghe 4th Janicke hit a solo home run for the Sox 2 runs. The Sox finshed in 3rd place. Brittany Adler picked up her 2nd career Sox hit.
Highlights for the Black Sox weekend included Sean Barker going yard.
