9U- Super Series 16 (TX)- Bracket Play Day One Print E-mail

9U Super Series Super 16 bracket holds true to form

By Devin Hasson

Unlike their counterparts in the 13U tournament in which all seeding was thrown out the window, the results were more predictable in the 9U Super Series Super 16 World Series at the Ballfields at Craig Ranch in McKinney. The higher-seeded team won all but one game during play in the winner’s bracket on Tuesday through Thursday, which was good news for the No. 1 G.P. Horns, which was ranked 12th in the latest travelballselect.com 9U national rankings. The Horns, playing at the 9U level for the first time all season after plying their trade in the 10U age division in previous months, received a first-round bye and then knocked off the North Texas Trojans (11-1) and the No. 3 Irving Canes (7-2). That brought them to a showdown against the second-seeded Unleashed, which was an honorable mention selection on the latest travelballselect.com rankings. Unleashed picked up a 5-1 win over the Scorpions and a 6-2 victory over the No. 4 McKinney Marshals during the first two rounds. The Horns and Unleashed went back and forth, but in the end it was the Horns who rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to pull out a 6-5 victory as they are the last remaining team in the field without a loss.

In the elimination bracket it was the seventh-seeded Texas Tornadoes that caught fire. The Tornadoes had lost in the first round of the winner’s bracket in a 6-5 loss to the Boerne Bombers, but they turned things around quickly. The Tornadoes defeated the CC Young Guns (8-5), the Scorpions (6-4), the Irving Canes (5-3) and the McKinney Marshals (5-2) to keep their tournament championship hopes alive. In the nightcap on Thursday, the Tornadoes kept things rolling by stomping Unleashed 14-6 to earn a spot in the championship game at 11:15 a.m. In order to win the title, the Tornadoes will have defeat the Horns twice. A second game on Friday, if necessary, is scheduled at 1:30 p.m.
