The Stampede 17u showed a warrior spirit over the weekend, going 1-2 in pool play but winning both games on Sunday to take the Champions Cup title!
     In the semi-final game, the Stampede avenged an earlier loss in the tournament, blowing out Regulators Elite by a score of 14-1.  Connor Moore was dominant on the bump, throwing a 5 inning no-hitter with 7 k's to send the team to the championship game. Offensively, Will Sanders was a beast, going 4-4 with 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI's in the game.  Sam Thompson followed suit, going 3-4 with 2 runs scored and an RBI, while William Taylor (2-3, 3 runs, RBI) and Nick Haller (2-3, RBI) added more firepower to an offense that pounded out 15 hits in 5 innings to propel themselves to the title game.

     In the final, the Stampede scored in each of the 1st 3 innings, then held on for a 6-5 win over the Dirtbags American team to take home the trophy.  Offensively, Taylor continued hit hot hitting, going 3-3 and scoring twice.  Khaleed Retamar had 2 hits and drove in 3 runs with a double and a HR. Haller added 2 RBI's in the winning effort. Beck Hoover got the win on the mound, going 4 innings and allowing just a pair of runs while striking out 3.
     Congrats on the big weekend!!!
