Gladstone Boys Top Munising; Advance To Finals
GLADSTONE---When the Gladstone Major Boys Little League All-Star team (age 11-12) faced the Munising All-Stars last Saturday, they needed a dramatic four-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning to post a 6-5 victory in the district tournament opener. This time, no dramatic comeback was needed, although the two teams put on an entertaining game that Gladstone won, 12-5. Cameron Ballard was tough at the plate for Gladstone, going 4 for 4 with three doubles and a single, driving in four runs. He brought home John Falcon three times, as Falcon also did his job at the plate with three base hits in the victory. Gladstone used three pitchers in the game. Munising got three hits and three runs batted in from Mitch Scheiling. Gladstone will face Iron Mountain North in the district finals Friday night in Norway. Game time is 6:00 ET. Tri-County will take on Norway in the late game, at 8:00 ET. Click the thumbnails in the ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS box above to see photos and videos from Monday night's game. |
