I understand the weather is playing havoc with the VISAA Championship Tournaments, but the D2 tournament is taking shape.
#6 seed Christchurch School has earned a place in the Championship game by defeating #3 seed Greenbrier Christian by a score of 5-2 in the Quarterfinal round, behind a dominant pitching performance by Michael Taylor; and a 9-3 Semi-Final victory over #2 seed Steward School behind a masterful pitching performance by David Phillips.
The quarterfinal match-up with GCA was a real pitcher's dual until CCS opened up some breathing room late in the contest. In the semi-final, CCS jumped on top with a 2-out, 2-run rally in the first, followed up by a 3-run 2nd (3-run HR by Taylor). That proved to be all CCS needed, as the combination of strong pitching, timely defense, and 4 more runs slowed down a very strong Steward team.
CCS plays the winner of the Friday Semi-Final between #1 seed Atlantic Shores (4-1 victor over Middleburg Academy) and the winner of the Norfolk Collegiate & Covenant quarterfinal. I heard Covenant came out on top in that contest, but maybe somebody else can confirm this.
