The 2010 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament has come to a close. Over 300 players took part in this elite event and they did not disappoint. Outstanding performances were delivered during the final day of action. The day was capped off literally by a walk-off. The tournament rules stated that six batters would come to the plate each inning. The final batter, in the final inning, in the final game of the tournament took his place in the batters box. The final batter, Dan Denton of Newtown, PA, took a great swing at a fastball and knocked it out of the park. As Denton crossed homeplate all of the players from both teams gathered to shake hands. Baseball Factory wants to congratulate all of the participating players in this year's Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament. Check out some pictures from the final day of action:
