JAMES
CITY – Both of the Williamsburg Revolution 9U victories at the Babe Ruth of
Virginia state tournament had come by more than double digits.

Coach
George Amory’s team proved they could rally for a victory Saturday afternoon
during a 7-3 victory over District 1 rival New Kent in an elimination game held
at Warhill District Park.
Andy
Homer’s run-scoring single to center in the top of the fifth inning snapped a
3-3 tie. New Kent tried to answer in the bottom of the inning, but starter
Griffin Wahl stranded runners on second and third to maintain the one-run lead.
The
Revolution tacked on three insurance runs in the top of the sixth. Wahl hit
triple to the wall in left field to score Ryan Terrell. One batter later, Wahl
scored on a Braden Dudeck’s groundout to shortstop. Ware scored later in the
inning on the back end of a double steal.
Kameron
Eggleston had two hits for Williamsburg. Terrell scored two runs and Noah Katz
added another one.
Wahl
allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out two to post his second win of
the tournament. Ware pitched a scoreless sixth inning to secure the win.
Williamsburg
will return to action at 10 a.m. Sunday when they face Shenandoah for a berth
in the tournament finals.
