Round one of tournament action began Monday with two games for boys baseball in the 9-11 youth league. The last age group to play for a title – all other youth league groups have already wrapped up for the year – Juicy’s Wellness Café took on A-Plus Fasteners in game two to see who would have the honor to play Bob Young’s Nursery in round two.As it turned out in the tight tournament game, Juicy’s took a 3-2 win, sending A-Plus into the loser’s bracket, still alive in the tournament, as it’s a double-elimination format.Both teams stayed tied at 1 run each until the fourth inning with runs in the first by Corban Felton for A-Plus and Brayan Holguin for Juicy’s.Juicy’s went on to stage a mini-rally with 2 runs in the fourth for a 3-1 lead.A-Plus had one more shot in the fifth, and Felton scored another run, but A-Plus Fasteners couldn’t push the tying run across the plate, falling 1 run short.Juicy’s played the No. 2 seeded team, Bob Young’s Nursery on Tuesday night, to see who would continue in the top of the bracket.
