The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star has a roundup of Brooke Point's 5-3 win over Riverbend last night in the Commonwealth District tournament championship game.

Key quote by Coach Brian Mays:

"We've put in a lot of hard work over 10 years and it's finally paid off," Mays said. "When you have a bunch of kids like I have right now, it's easy."

For Brooke Point: Starting pitcher Chris Denno went the distance last night with a strong outing. Catcher Travis Cole had a three-run homer in the 5th inning that tied the game at 3-3. First baseman David Dilegge went 3-4 at the plate to include a RBI single in the 6th inning that brought across the go-ahead run.

In the bottom of the sixth, Brooke Point scored the winning runs. The inning started harmlessly with a pop to short. The second batter than struck out, but made it to first when the catcher threw the ball high to first after not catching the pitch. Drew Bell then walked, and Ryan Carder followed with a single to load the bases. David Delegge then followed with a sharp liner just past the shortstop who was playing on the infield grass.
