The Rattlers go to State

The Rattlers went 5-1 in the state tournament. They were underdefeated and a #1 seed going into the championship bracket. They finished the bracket playing a team that was technically disqualified because they pitched in inelegible pitcher in our game. At the end of the game they took home runner up, but that is still being discussed by the officials that keep the books. We will know the final ruling this week.

Regardless of the tarnished championship game the Rattlers dominated the tournament. Here are some highlights from The Heat.

Hunter started the season as the clean up batter, lost his mojo for a while and came back at state with almost no strike outs and only one caught fly ball. He seemed to favor left field. We will update his exact stats as soon as we can.

Hunter played third base when he wasn't pitching. He was the teams Ace pitcher. He went in most games for the save when they needed to shut the game down fast. He was successful every time. We are not exactly sure of his walk to strike out ratio but it is around 1 walk to every 10 strike outs. His strike to ball ratio is around 75%.

Here is he getting his trophy from the commissioner.

Here he is with the #2 pitcher his best friend Kade. Kade has a strong performance in the tournament as well.

Here is the whole pitching staff.
