How about a hand for the grounds crew at the Dixie Youth 9 and 10 year old District Tournament in Rustburg. Amherst taking on Rustburg National.
T.C. Thacker grounds it down the line. They get the out at first but Kyle Orme beats the throw home. Amherst's down 5-3. Still in the 3rd, with the bases loaded, Zack Carr sends a base hit to right. Two runs come into score. Cole Brown touches home to give Amherst the lead 6-5. They score eight unanswered to beat Rustburg National 9-to-5 the final.
In the nightcap...Brookneal taking on Rustburg American. With the bases loaded and two outs, Hunter Metz hits this pitch into the outfield. All three runs score including J.J. Jennings and Trey Farrar. Rustburg American's on top 4-nothing.
Bottom 1st, same score when Brookneal's Tyler Jennings steps up a knocks a two-out single to right. Carson Stanley was on second. He scores to make it 4-1, but Rustburg American goes on to win this one 11-5.
So Amherst now has to beat Rustburg American twice for the title.
