Flomaton 10Us force winner-take-all game at district tourney

Flomaton’s 10U Cal Ripken All-Stars forced a winner-take-all game with Jay, Fla. after winning a close 10-8 contest on Monday during the District 7 tournament in Atmore.

Braden Nall pitched the closing inning and got some needed insurance with a put out at second base for the second out in the sixth inning. With that assurance, Nall struck the last batter out of the game with two on. He fought back with two on and one out in the same frame.

What turned the tide for Flomaton took place in the bottom of the fifth. Jay had the bases loaded, and the Canes got two key ground outs to end the inning.

The deciding game was played Tuesday night, and wasn’t complete as of press time.

The Canes strutted out to a 7-1 lead after the first inning and sate comfortable until Jay fought back, tacking on two runs in the third and five runs in the fourth to keep them honest.

Flomaton scored one run in the top of the fifth inning to lead 10-8 when Riley Harrison hit an RBI single to score Gavin Rodgers, who reached on a single.

Jay made its come back in the fourth with a couple walks with the bases loaded, and two singles from McCantel and Patrick.

Flomaton fought its way back from the loser’s bracket to force the re-match with Jay (after losing 12-2 on Sunday).
