Monday
18 and Under
4 – 3, Western Australia
The WA Under 18 State Team defeated the Brewers 18 and Under Team in extra innings by only one run. The Brewers were consistently strong in their pitching as they held WA to just one hit. Despite this effort, the pitching staff allowed nine walks, which in the final analysis cost the Brewers the game. The Brewers were held to just four hits scattered throughout the line up by Emory Oese-Siegel (New York), Will Prichard (Florida), Steven Karwatt (Florida) and Eric Fry (Louisiana).
As coach Charlie Aliano demonstrated a positive attitude through tense competition, so did the players on the Brewers 18 and Under team. Coach Aliano was impressed with both the hard play and "good chin" up sportsmanship exhibited by the team.
