Atmore’s 13-to-15-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars finished 3-0 over the weekend at the state tournament in Sylacauga.

The local team played in the state semifinals against the host team on Monday, and fell 13-4. More information from the game can be found on the Atmore Advance’s website at www.atmoreadvance.com.

In pool play action, Atmore beat Tallassee 7-6 on Saturday; and then topped Wetumpka 8-1 and West Alabama 11-10 on Sunday.

Coach Robert Cash said the boys are playing as a team.

“The chemistry of this team is probably the best of any team I’ve coached,” Cash said. “They never get down. Against Tallassee, we had one bad inning, and that was the only bad inning we’ve had in the tournament. We had four errors and it cost us four runs.”

Cash said the errors gave Tallassee three runs. However, Atmore bounced back the next inning with five of its own.

“The team never got down,” he said. “They rebounded. That’s the way they’ve played the whole tournament. The pitchers have pitched great. We’ve hit the ball. It’s just been a good team effort.”
