LIVE: From the Under Armour Southeast Tournament: Day Two

Dave Lax: We're There

Sunday has always meant big time sporting event finals. Golf has its championships for most tournaments on Sundays. Tennis’ Grand Slams have their fortnight of action conclude with the championship on Sunday. Football is played on Sunday. However for the second day of play at the Under Armour Southeast Regional Wood Bat Tournament Sunday only meant the second of three days of round robin play. This was an important day for teams looking to fortify their standing in the tournament. 16 more games took place today as the field started to take form heading into Tuesday’s elimination portion of the tournament.

Going into Day Three there will be three undefeated teams. Team DeMarini out of Texas fought hard with the Miami Pokers to win 6-4 and improve to 2-0. They were fuelled by back to back homeruns by catcher Drew Benefield and shortstop Victor Guerra. However, Team DeMarini will have its hands full tomorrow with a double header including match-ups with the Hitaway Prospects and the Miami Fat Cats.

The Freshwater Storm still stand as the team to beat with a 3-0 record. Today the Storm took down the 2007 Under Armour Southeast Regional Wood Bat Champion, Chet Lemon’s Juice. The game was the most exciting one of the day coming down to the final half inning. Both teams showed that they had offense putting up 15 total runs, but it wasn’t until the bottom of the seventh that the Storm’s true character appeared. Faced with a two run deficit the Storm came up with the determination and “never say die” attitude to push across three runs and take the win to stay perfect in the tournament.

The final undefeated team is Line Drive Baseball which went into their day with a 0-0-1 record. They took out the Florida Pokers in the first round of games today to improve to 1-0-1.

With hundreds of spectators in attendance and over 40 college coaches and pro scouts scouring the fields every play and every game is important. As we get closer to the elimination round and the seedings start to take shape, we look forward to what Day Three has in store.
