The bats got going early and often for the 11U Junior Ducks this evening at Allen Park.
In the top of the first they wasted no time putting up four runs. With one out, Stevie Gervasi and Chris Rizzo both singled and came around to score on Logan Urtnowski‘s two-run single. They added another run on an RBI double by Mike Tramaglini and Dom Olivo‘s run-scoring single opened up a 4-0 lead.
They gave two of those back, though, in the bottom of the fist when five walks allowed Freedom Baseball to cut the lead in half. The RBIs went to Aiden Ging and Parker Elward.
After going scoreless in the top of the second, the Ducks were relentless in the next two innings.

In the top of the third, they scored five runs on five hits. The RBI hits came off the bat of Urtnowski, Tramaglini, Olivo, Gavin Biesel and Corey Bardua. This effectively put the game out of reach, but they continued to pile on in the fourth inning with their biggest inning. This time they scored six runs on five hits. The big blow came on another two-run hit by Urtnowski for his fifth RBI of the day.
They have scored 32 runs through their first 3 games of the tournament. They will play tomorrow in the semifinals at 11:15 for the chance to play in the Finals at 1:30pm.
