Storms and Seeding Set Up a Second Place Finish for the 10U Batesville Bats

Congratulations to the 10U Batesville Bats for bringing home more bling this past weekend. 

The Bats traveled to North Vernon, Indiana to compete in the USSSA Crossroads Invitational presented by Ohio Valley Sports. The Bats came ready to swing, capturing the #2 seed during Saturday’s pool play.  Batesville defeated the Venom Braves 16-1, followed by an 11-3 victory over Indy Clutch.   

On Sunday morning, the Batesville Bats returned to North Vernon for bracket play. The boys again stepped up to the plate and earned themselves a 17-5 win over the Venom Braves. Unfortunately, the forecasted storms made their appearance Sunday afternoon, halting remaining tourney play.  

The good news for Batesville, Saturday’s seeding paired with Sunday morning’s victory sealed a second-place finish for the Bats.
