11U 2006

The 11U Southern Indiana Spikes enjoyed a great weekend of baseball and walked away as the 2006 Kentucky BPA 11U State Runners Up! The weekend started with an opening game against the Mt. Vernon Wildbats. The Spikes remembered an earlier loss dealt to them and avenged that loss with a commanding win, 12-3! What a great start!! The Spikes second round opponent turned out to be the Owensboro Nitro, a team that seems to give the Spikes fits on most occasions. The Spikes played tough, and with the help of a perfectly, orchestrated squeeze-play at the plate, tied the game in the sixth inning and went on to win 7-3! The Spikes once again found themselves in the Sunday afternoon Championship game aainst the Louisville Panthers. The Panthers squeaked out a close game and defeated the Spikes 5-3. This sent the two teams into the final game, with the Panthers holding on to a 7-4 lead and winning their second Kentucky BPA State Title. Great weekend guys! We will get one of these Championships! Thanks also to Jordan Messmer for playing with the Spikes this weekend!!
