McLean/Great Falls 13U Baseball Team Comes in Second at State Championship Tournament
Even though a team composed of players from Great Falls and McLean finished as the runner-ups in the 13U Babe Ruth Virginia State Championship Tournament held in Fishersville, VA from July 16-20, they were honored with the “Sportsmen” trophy as well as having team-mate Yuhei Hashimoto named MVP for the tournament. The MGF All-Stars represented District 7 in the state tournament – drawing a very difficult bracket where they had to defeat extremely good teams from Williamsburg (11-10), and Loudoun County (6-5) and (14-6) before falling to the eventual state champion squad from Winchester (3-1). The final game turned out to be a pitching duel between Jake McSteen (MGF) and Hayden Bauserman who was able to stifle the MGF attack that had been led all tournament by MVP Hashimoto (.588 avg,. 9 runs, 2 wins and 1 save), Josh Crummer, Cal Jadacki, and Blake Coolidge.
The McLean/Great Falls 13U Babe Ruth All-Stars had captured the District 7 crown on July 12 in a winner take-all elimination contest playing a nearly flawless game behind their ace John DeFriest to win (7-1) over the Arlington All-Stars. Earlier in the District 7 tournament, every member of the squad contributed as the MGF All-Stars powered over Northern Fairfax County (12-0) and Vienna (16-3) before Arlington forced the decisive second game of the doubleheader by prevailing in a tight opener (5-4).
The McLean/Great Falls 13U Babe Ruth All-Stars included: Will Bollinger, Nick Casso, Blake Coolidge, Josh Crummer, John DeFriest, Bryan Even, Yuhei Hashimoto, Cal Jadacki, Austin Jenkins, Jake McSteen, Cole Oldenburg, and Kevin Wood. The team is managed by Troy Allen, with coaches Mark Casso and Randy Baugh
All 3 age groups of All-Star teams made fine showings at the state tournaments. The 13U team came in 2nd in the state with a loss in the Championship game. The 14s pounded their way through the loser’s bracket. They won the 1st Championship game, 17-4, then lost the 2nd in the bottom of the 11th, 11-12. As State runner-up, they have been invited to participate in, and will go to, the Southeastern Regional Tournaments. And the 15U team finished 3rd in the state by losing the semi-final game 7-8 in 9 innings.
