Young Bucks Rally from Down 14-4 to Win Quarterfinal 17-16
Courtesy of Young Bucks’ Skipper, Clyde Bennett:
A great performance by the Young Bucks at Taft Tournament. With only 8 of our roster players we scored 37 runs, had 35 hits including 2 HR’s and 2 triples. Big hitters were Joel Lange and Jacob Venzor. We drew 21 walks in the 5 games. Larry Watts caught all five games. Sterling pitching at times by Alan Miller and Buddy Armijo. Two new pitchers made their debut, Joel Lange and Mike Watts. In the quarter final game we trailed West Bishop 14-4 after 4 innings and 16-12 in the 7th. In the bottom of the 7th we scored 5 runs to win it 17-16. In the semi-final we faced Spud and undefeated Rude Pac. We had a 2-0 lead after 5 and ended up losing in the 7th 3-2. Not bad against the NAFA AA CHAMPS. Everyone there was impressed by the Bucks hustle and never give up spirit.
