(Friday, Lebanon, TN) The 10 Blue All-Star team's run in the State tournament came to an end Friday night. The "Cardiac Kids from Clarksville" as someone in Lebanon said, fought to the very end but lost to Donelson 13-4. The 10 Blue team had a great and memorable postseason that saw them play 11 games and winning 9 of them, including 6 games in 7 days at the State Tournament. Another District title was added this year and a 3rd place finish in the State.
As the the disappointed team met for the last time on the field, an age old tradition was carried out of shaking hands and saying........Just wait til next year.

After a Rainout on Wednesday the 10 Blue retook the field against District 2 Champion Lawrenceburg. Luke Chilcutt Took the mound for his second start of the Tournament and pitched well but saw visiting Lawrenceburg jump out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. CNLL tied up the game in the bottom half of the inning and the score remained 1-1 until the top of the third when the normally solid Blue defense had a let down and Lawrenceburg scored 3 runs to make it a 4-1 game. Lawrenceburg added 2 more runs on timely hits to make it a 6-1 lead going into the bottom of the 4th when CNLL added a run on a passed ball to make the score 6-2. Cody Spurgeon came on to pitch and held Lawrenceburg scoreless in the 5th and in the home half of the inning Spencer Jones got the inning started with a single then Luke Chilcutt singled and drove home Spencer, Austin Cherry Walked, and that brought Teal Young to the plate and he promptly Tripled to make the score 6-5. Teal would score on a passed ball and tie the game at 6-6. David Bowman then came to the plate and Lined a shot down the right field line that got into the corner and with a lot of hustle David had an inside the park homerun to propel CNLL into it's first lead of the game at 7-6. Cody Spurgeon with the help of some nice defense pitched a scoreless 6th as CNLL held on to win and run their record to 4-1 in the tournament and set up a Friday night game with District 7 Champion Donelson.
