SHOCKWAVE Baseball

After a big win over the Myrtle Beach Angels followed by a big loss to the Palmetto Stix (NC) on Saturday the ShockWave would have to win 2 games on Sunday just to earn a chance to play for the Championship.   The team got off to a great start on Sunday by cruising thru a 16-0 win over the Florence Storm.  The win earned them a spot in the semi-final game and an opportunity to face the team who had defeated them on Saturday (Palmetto Stix).   The ShockWave defense demonstrated great fundamentals behind 7 innings of excellent pitching by JD Waite for a dramatic 3-2 win.  The victory earned the ShockWave a spot in the Championship game vs. the Florence Insanity who were undefeated on the weekend.  ShockWave trailed 0-3 until the bottom of the 6th when John Kirk got the bats going with a RBI double.  Followed by a RBI by Adam Blocker, JD Waite and go ahead RBI single by Joel Roberts to put the ShockWave on top 4-3.  It was 3 up, 3 down in the top of the 7th to complete a flawless game on defense behind a complete game championship pitching performance by Hayden Heflin.   

After going 1-1 on Saturday - Coach Jamie Waite told the team that if they went 3-0 on Sunday to win the Championship they could "shave his head"!   So as you can see in the picture he is sporting a new look!
