The Buchanan Bears 10's Cal Ripken ran into a buzzsaw. Jake Wilson standing close to 5'3" threw consistantly in the high 50's to low 60's and at times in the high 60's. He mowed down the 1st 5 Bears he faced and finished striking out 9 in only 4 innings of work. With the Bears 1st loss of the tournament they will now move to the loser’s bracket and have to beat Branchburg, New Jersey to stay in the hunt for a National Title. The winner of tomorrow night’s game at 4pm (PDT) will play West Raleigh for the World Series Championship. Buchanan or Branchburg would have to beat West Raleigh twice to claim the title on Friday, August 15th.
