Williamsburg defeated Glen Allen, 5-3.
WARRENTON – Williamsburg Revolution 10U team secured a berth in the Babe Ruth of Virginia state tournament finals Saturday with a 5-3 victory over defending champion Glen Allen at Stuarts Field near Warrenton.

The win gave the Revolution at least a berth to the Southeastern Regional tournament. If Williamsburg wins the state tournament, they will represent Virginia in the Cal Ripken Baseball World Series to be held in Winchester on Aug. 7.

Pitching was the story for the Revolution, as Bobby Wilson was nothing short of sensation. The right-hander allowed three runs and struck out nine en route to the complete game victory.

Wilson also helped his own cause at the plate, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.

Logan Koselke had the biggest hit of the game, a three-run triple, to give Williamsburg the lead. Paul Williams had three hits and scored a run. Price Whitaker and Kevin Cole each went 1-for-3 and scored a run. Luke Hanson had a hit and drove in a run.

The Revolution will play Sunday at 3:30 p.m. against an opponent to be determined.
