2008 AUGUST 9      NEW ORLEANS ADVANCES TO NATIONAL TOURNAMENT

2008 AUGUST 9      NEW ORLEANS LEADS PLAY-IN 1-0

 

 

 

 

 

The NORD Boosters defeated Chicago Metro's Glen Ellyn Jam 6-1 at the Point Stadium to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three play-in series.

 

Chicago threatened in the top of the 8th by advancing runners to 2nd and 3rd after a wild pitch, but their rally was ended when a chopper up the third base line barely stayed fair, giving New Orleans an easy out at third to end the inning. In the bottom of the inning, NORD bats came alive again, including an RBI double by Brett Palermo off the Screen Monster, giving New Orleans a 5-run cushion heading into the ninth. Andrew Velez completed his complete game shut-out for the win.

2008 JULY 30

Currently organizing all my directories and pages, so content is sparse. Unfortunately, I won't be able to update the site over the weekend, but I hope to have things pretty much straightened out before the national tournament begins. (Don't bother emailing me about all the bad links . . . I know)
