President's Day Tourney Recap

The Crawdads ran into some tough competition in the CFSA President’s Day Tournament over the weekend. Amazingly, the weather cleared out and Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day. The Crawdads finished 1-3 and took 8th place. The boys showed some pop at the plate at times over the weekend with some big hits including Grant's 2 run blast against the Banditos.

Saturday’s Results
The first draw on Saturday was against the powerhouse and eventual tourney winner, The Banditos Black. The Banditos defeated the Crawdads 18-5 in pool play. Then in the second game of pool play, the Barracudas bested the Crawdads in the second game 12-4.

Sunday’s Results
Sunday elimination games began for the 10^th seeded Crawdads vs the 7^th seeded Humble Bulldogs. The sun came out and so did the Crawdads’ bats and defense as the boys held the Bulldogs scoreless 13-0.

The Crawdads then moved on to face the 2^nd seeded Houston Wranglers. The first two innings were close. Then, the Wranglers pulled out in front with a big 3rd inning. The Crawdads had a potential big inning end with bases loaded and a hard shot down the left field line by Chris being hauled in by the left fielder. The Wranglers proved to be too tough today and came out on top 11-3.

The tourney was hopefully a good primer for the CFSA regular season which kicks off Wednesday, Feb 20^th at 6pm vs The Houston Angels.
