Headfirst Gamers Take Another Tournament

The Headfirst Gamers 17U Summer Team participated in a six-team "Mickey Mantle" tournament in Union City this weekend, and made it to the final round Sunday evening under beautiful sunny skies.

The host team, the East Bay Lookouts, were cooking burgers and dogs between games, so the boys were well-fed when they took the field against the GB Whiplash, a team the Gamers had lost to in an earlier round.

But this time the Gamers were smoking hot and would not be denied!

Offensively, Sam Weaver hit a clutch line drive into left, Desi Bradford had a pair of hits and two RBI. Noah Robbins also had a hot bat and drove two in runs.

Jacob "Max" Payne pitched five sparkling shutout innings, with 12 strike-outs, while Nick Allman (#21 below) ran around the bases so fast his belt broke.

The Gamers went on to win 8-0 and take the championship. All in all, another great game and tournament for the Gamers!
