The 13 and

14 year old Sharpsburg Brewers recently finished an

undefeated regular season and headed to the District

Tournament held at Rex Park. The team, managed by Mark

Taylor, played four games in five days at the tournament

and remain undefeated.

The first

match was against the Sharpsburg Expos. The Brewers won

Andrew Brown, Ryan Wetzl and Dane Helmly. Helmly pitched

two days later when the Brewers faced the Riverdale

Marlins and won by a score of 9-1. The team got a boost

from Danny Dancy, who hit homeruns in both the third and

fourth innings, and Neil Casey, the Brewers catcher, who

threw two Marlins out at secon base and drove in two

RBIs.

The third

game for the Brewers at the District Tournament was

against the Jonesboro Angels. Andrew Brown pitched seven

innings and struck out 12 Jonesboro batters. The Angels

scored in the first inning and were kept off the board

for the remainder of the game. Ryan Wetzl hit a three run

homerun in the fifth inning and Rex Crane hit a two run

homerun in the sixth inning as the Brewers won by a score

of 10-2.

For the

championship game of the division tournament the Brewers

faced the McDonough Diamond Backs. The Brewers were on

fire. Dane Helmly and Rex Crane combined to pitch four

innings. They did not allow a run and completely shut

down the Diamond Back offense. Chris Hall and Kirk Holt

each scored twice as the Brewers defeated the Diamond

Backs, 16-0.

The Brewers

now advance to the next round, the Sub State

Championships, which will be held in McDough at the South

Cedar Recreation Complex.
