St. Louis Diamond Cats

The Cats beat a very good Southern Illinois Dirt Dawg team to win the USFA Northern National Championship.  We had 4 great games with them and we won 2 and they won 2!  What a great fight for the championship.  We played good games with the St. Louis Legion of Doom (Dierkes) and Missouri Heat (Abbott), too. 

In the stifling heat and humidity, with a whole day rained out, and with a lot of grit and determination, the Cats managed to beat the Dawgs in the "IF" game of the championship round.  The Cats took the easier road to the finish by staying in the winner's bracket until the first round of championship play.  The Dawgs came into that game with a bit more fight in them after battling the Heat to get there.  The Cats came out in the second game ready to play, though.  Even though they got down early, they battled back and beat the Dawgs in the last inning 4 - 3.

Thanks to the Dawgs for some great games!  Good luck in the future!

 Way to go, Cats!  Not many teams get to end their season with a win!  We are proud of you!  Good luck in high school and college ball and we will play together again at the Fall Exposure Tournament!  We will be there to watch those high school games!
