Against the Tigres at Maryvale Field, the Rage ran out of gas in their seventh game in four days. The Rage sticks were only able to muster 4 hits in 9 innings including their only homerun of the tournament by Woodward. The Rage did have some
strong pitching during the tournament:
As the Rage Sticks saw some
better pitching, they weren’t as hot as usual…A few Ragers managed to put up
some good numbers:
Woodward had a great tournament, taking in 22 total bases in his final appearance for the Rage….Congratulations and Good Luck Woody. The Rage will be looking to defend their American League Title next year and will be looking for some additional ballers. If interested, contact Coach Jeff Perry @ jperry2005@hotmail.com
