Norwood Blues

After an opening game loss, the Blues won five straight to walk away with the Fielders' Choice Wood Bat Tournament Title at Aviator Stadium in Loves Park.  On the mound large contributions came from Jake Andrews, Jovanni Sanchez, Zach Kaloustian, Christian Ruiz, Blake Kons the starting and winning pitcher in the title game, an 11-4 win over Team Illinois, and Mitch Goll who earned a "Save" in the final.  The Blues offense and defense depended upon contributions from Kevin Garcia, Eli Mercado, Robert Vargas, David Hochstadt, Chris Huerta, Austin Wills, Drew Thomas, Sam Reichert, Angel Comas, Justin Halpern, and Jovanni Sanchez.  Joe LaCivita had a particularly outstanding tournament.  In several games the Blues battled back from early deficits; earning a 5-4 win over Hard Knox after trailing 4-0 and in the final after trailing 3-1 and 4-2.
