SEDLIA The Jefferson City American Legion Post 5 Seniors extended their winning streak to eight games Saturday, opening the Sedalia Wood Bat Tournament with a 13-10 victory Post 499 Fike and a 4-3 win against the Sedalia Travelers Post 642 at Liberty Park.
ST. CHARLES The Jefferson City American Legion Post 5 Seniors capped a 6-0 record Sunday in the Play 9 Sports St. Louis Elite Series Tournament with a 7-6 victory against the St. Louis Gamers 17U Gray team at Lindenwood University.
It was a shame someone had to lose Thursday night’s game at the Falcon Athletic Complex. But in baseball, there has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. Wil Libbert of Blair Oaks and Max Buscher of Fatima pitched scoreless inning after scoreless inning through seven innings in a pitchers’ duel between the two district foes. Libbert hit his pitch-count limit in the top of the eighth, while Buscher was able to pitch a complete game.
The Fatima Comets have hit the ground hitting. Fatima scored a total of 34 runs Saturday in opening the baseball season with a pair of wins. That momentum carried over to Monday as the Comets posted a 10-2 victory against the Helias Crusaders at the American Legion Post 5 Sports Complex.
