D-BAT Mustangs roll to top seed at 14U Super 16 World Series
By Devin Hasson
Despite battling delays and postponements due to area rains, the D-BAT Mustangs did not miss a beat in being the only team to post a perfect 3-0 record during pool play in the 14U division of the Super Series Super 16 World Series at The Ballfields at Craig Ranch in McKinney. The Mustangs did not dominate their opponents, but they made enough plays to sweep through their opponents to earn the top seed for bracket play. The Mustangs got off to a strong start on Sunday with wins over the Kansas City Barnstormers (7-5) and Texas Braves (7-5). The team then had to wait until Wednesday to get back on the field, where they posted a 9-5 victory over the South Texas Diamondbacks.
Three teams finished pool play with 2-1 records. Action Baseball claimed the second seed as they picked up an 8-0 win over the Crescent City Hooks and a 5-4 victory over the Texas Blackhawks, sandwiched around a 6-5 loss to the Blackhawks.
After splitting the two games with Action Baseball, the Blackhawks stomped Crescent City, 16-1, to earn the third seed. The Barnstormers shook off the loss to the Mustangs with wins over the South Texas Diamondbacks (12-1) and Texas Braves (8-3).
The 14U field was already small after a couple of teams dropped out and it dwindled to seven teams for bracket play after Crescent City pulled out of the event.
