The Hope Little League team was able to do what the Patriots couldn't do and that was complete the perfect season! (Man it still hurts to think about the Pats in the Super Bowl!)Hope took the field first and got 3 quick outs on Thomaston II and that would be a sign of things to come for Thomaston. After the first inning, the score was 9-0 as the entire Hope lineup and then some got to bat. In the second inning Hope added 4 more runs and luckily for Thomaston Hope didn't score anymore. After the 4th, Hope was up 13-0 and the "mercy-rule" went into effect and Hope was crowned CHAMPIONS! Sam Berry, the starting pitcher for Hope, didn't allow any hits, got 10 of the 12 outs by strikeouts and walked 4. Thomaston was simply over matched tonight.
Julian was 1 for 1 with a single. He had an RBI and scored a run. Julian has improved a lot this year and had some exciting moments. He will be a team leader next year as one of the older kids on the team and hopefully he will be a starting pitcher too!
