Nokona 15u Chiefs Finish Top 10 out of 112 at Perfect Game World Wood Bat Championship in East Cobb, Georgia!

13u Update:  
Nokona participated in the 13u Triple Crown National Championships in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina along with 40 other clubs. The Chiefs made it out of pool play with an impressive 3-0 record and a top playoff seed heading into the second round of the playoffs. Nokona defeated the Columbus, Ohio Sharks, the Charlotte, NC Megastars and the Greenbriar, VA Panthers to achieve the #3 playoff seed. Nokona lost to a very tough Knoxville, TN Ranger team 5-4 and wound up finishing likely 9^th in the country based on run differential. Great job by the 13u Team following their impressive New England Championship!

15u Update:  
Nokona participated in the 15u World Wood Bat Championship in East Cobb, GA  sponsored by Perfect Game. 112 teams from across the country attended the exclusive event. The Chiefs won their pool and advanced to the Top 64 playoff by defeating the New Jersey Young Guns 7-6 in Game 1 and the East Cobb Astros 2-0 in Game 2. Ryan Sullivan led the way in a dramatic come-from-behind victory over the Young Guns. Down 6-2 with 2 outs and nobody on in the final frame, Sullivan delivered a bases loaded triple and scored the winning run on a passed ball.  Ryan O’Shea was the story in defeating the mighty Astros on their home field in Game 2. O’Shea dealt the Astros only their 2^nd defeat of the season in a complete game, 97 pitch, 2 hit gem.  The Chiefs defeated the Banditos from Texas 5-2 in the opening playoff game behind a Home Run & Double by Sullivan and a great complete game performance on the hill from Troy Whitty.  In the Round of 32, Nokona defeated # 6 seed Baseball Scouts from NC 3-0 behind a great outing from Vin Scifo. Nokona ran into the eventual National Champion in the round of 16 and lost 5-1 to the 6-4-3 DP Cougars from Georgia.  Based on the tourney tie-breakers and only allowing 7 runs in 3 playoff games, Nokona likely finished 9^th in the elite Championship, which would be the highest finish from a New England team in years.  Congratulations to the 15u team!
