Amber McGriskin, Rebecca Jensen and David Van Camp with perfect plate appearances in game one. In the final Eric Draper proved his MVP value hitting two key round trippers to get his team into the lead. Other final game fine performances were turned in by Robert Gatchell who continued his year long spirited play and Zachery Grove who did mom and dad proud. Snap On got to the finals by virtue of their two wins and was led by the strong hitting of Dana McGeoghan and Tyler Watson throughout the tournament as well as some fine fielding by Kylie MacLeod and Maxim Heard. Li%man's played well thanks to the excellent play of Tyler Gaylord who seemed to score a bunch of runs for his team. Other Lishman game stars were Tyler James with his excellent running game and Travis Mann who had a three for three game at the plate.
