Dallas Tigers Fuentes 16U took 2nd place in the Pastime Tournaments 16/17U Southwest Wood Bat Championships, held this past weekend at Northwood University. With a record of 5-0 going into the Championship game, the Tigers came up just short securing 2nd place in the tournament. The team’s performance this weekend, marks two 2nd place finishes and one 1st place Championship win, in their three tournament outings this summer.
The 12U Woods team took their fifth tournament title of the season capping off a 3-0 Sunday for the USSSA State title and a Father’s Day Championship to match their Mother’s Day title back in May. The bats came alive on Sunday after a dormant Saturday of pool play, along with key pitching. JJ Montenegro again hurled a complete game gem going the distance while giving up 3 hits, 1 walk, and setting down 10 Patriots on K’s in the Sunday opener, winning 5-2. Next were the DBAT-Merle Mustangs, the tournament #1 seed. Jake Whitbeck tossed three strong innings and through four innings the Tigers mounted a 12-3 lead, in part on seven Mustang errors. DBAT tried to make a late game comeback but the Tigers hammered out 12 hits. The Tigers hammered out 12 hits lead by Klayton Henderson (3 for 4) and Garrett Carter (2 for 4 with two doubles) to hang on for a tense 12-10 victory to get to the championship. The final was a rematch from Saturday’s pool play against the Arlington Heat which in that game neither team could find their bats. Both teams only managed a hit apiece on Saturday with the Tigers on the short end of a 1-0 game. However, Sunday was a different story for Woods team. Before the Heat came to the plate in the bottom of the second, the Tigers went up 6-0 with as many hits including a dinger by Jordan Blackmon, his fifth of the season. They would finish the game with 11 hits. After a leadoff single in the first by the Heat, Lance Russell then picked that runner off first followed by retiring every batter in order until the fifth en route to a complete game on 4 hits, 4 K’s, no walks and a 9-1 championship win! On defense, Parker Kelly flashed some ESPN highlight plays at shortstop all weekend to shut down several opponent rallies.
Congratulations Tigers!!!

Congratulations to the 17U Dallas Tigers coached by Linty Ingram. They won the 2011 Pastime Tournament Championship at Northwood University in Dallas, Texas.
Linty Ingram’s 12U Tigers spent their Memorial Weekend in Houston, Texas, playing some of the top teams in the nation. In this three day format, only the top 6 teams in the 12 team field would play on Monday for the Championship. Saturday and Sunday’s record for the Tigers was 3-1 against good competition which set them up for a run at the Championship on Monday. The first bracket play game pitted the Tigers against the San Antonio Devils with the Tigers getting the nod in a 5-3 close game. The next game was against the nationally ranked and hard-throwing Banditos Black team. With solid pitching and hitting, the Tigers prevailed in an 11-4 victory which set them up for a rematch with DBat Chancellor in the finals. The Championship had a little bit of everything (two grand slams, hrs, great fielding, great hitting), but the Tigers prevailed in a 14-13 victory.
This is two in a row for the Tigers as they head into the meat of their schedule!
