Seminoles rock the Devils thanks to productive 7th >>

The #30 Alabama Seminoles 17u pulled the upset over the #22 Diamond Devils Black behind a 7-run outburst in the 2nd inning and a 1B Dylan Ingram (2013, Edgewood Academy, AL) homer to push their way to a Cinderella-esque Final 4 berth. There they face the tall task of unseating the #2 Team Elite Black who remain undefeated in the tourney.

Ingram put the team on his back in the effort and would add an additional single, a run scored, and 2 RBIs as well.

He found the zone at will throwing a stellar 83% of his pitches for strikes.

Getting it done on the mound for the Devils was closer and College of Charleston commit RHP Tyler Thornton (2013, Wade Hampton HS, SC) who allowed 3 hits but 0 ER in 3 innings of relief. Thornton lit it up with his 86-88 FB touching 90 in the solid outing.

Blake Garrett (2013, LaPorte, TX) and Will Foreman (2013, Lamar, TX) led the Angels offensively as they each added 2 hits and scored 1 of their team's 6 runs in the game to give them the W.  Both of Garrett's hits were for doubles and he also drove in 1 RBI while Foreman had 1 double, 1 stolen base and drove in 2 RBI's for the Angel's thanks to his live bat and linedrive swinging plane at the plate.

For the Astros, Kel Johnson (2014, Home School, GA) led the team with 2 hits and drove in 1 of their 2 runs, but his efforts weren't enough to hold off the Angels.

The following hitter, Brian Navarreto (2013, Arlington Country Day HS, FL) reached on an error to put the tying run on base. Clarkin's first pitch to the following batter missed, before he bared down and finished the game off with his fourth strikeout of the game.
