OT - 2017 CT HSBB Tournament

Chad Knight was the difference in the game. While Amity ace, Max Scheps, struggled with his command, Knight pounded the strike zone. Amity was unable to hit anything solid, as Knight worked the corners of the plate and mixed his pitches very well. Staples also did a great job working into hitter's counts and were able to capitalize on those opportunities. Congrats to the Wreckers.

Where you @ game Kris? I was listening on the WWPT radio stream and swear I heard the say UConn Football commit Ryan Fitton was in the game for Staples? Haven't seen a box score yet.

(as an aside - the kid (?Cooper Boardman?) who called the game on the stream was Chris Jones quality good.

I was there @huskymedic. Fitton did not enter the game. He was up in the pen a number of times midway through the game. He was coming in if Knight got in any trouble. Give Knight after he hit the HR, he seemed to find a second wind on the mound. He was reeling the inning prior and it looked like Amity was going to get to him. He regrouped and was brilliant the rest of the way.
 
Congrats to Foran and Coach Walker. The Lions needed to win a coin flip to even make the tournament and rode carried that magic all the to a Class L title....

That kid played in the LLWS a few years ago. They got to the US final (the semifinal of the whole tournament). I knew I recognized his face.
