The Tigers-Ingram finished Runner-up last week in the Super Series Super16 National Championships hosted at Craig Ranch in McKinney. After 10 games and an 8-2 record in the 100 degree+ Texas sun the Tigers had a lot to be proud of with their finish. They had to battle back up the losers bracket after a second bracket game loss to the McKinney Marshals only to meet them four games later. After taking the first rematch game 7-3, the heat and schedule were just too much to overcome with the Marshals winning the deciding championship tilt.
Tigers selected to the All – Tournament Team were William Adair (16 for 27 with 7 RBI’s to lead team hitting), Jared Martin (12 for 27 with 7 RBI’s), Ty Manning (hit .400 for the tournament with 8 RBI’s, a homerun, and stellar defense), Syler Shepherd (hit .433 with 11 RBI’s and earned a win on the mound), Hayden Houser (solid defense and went 6 for 13 in the last 5 games), and Cole Solomon (hit .400 with three triples, threw 5 1/3 innings of a no hitter in bracket play and earned a save in another). Defensive MVP was Ty Manning for his spectacular “Sportscenter” plays in centerfield during the week.

Congratulations Tigers on a hard fought Runner-up finish!!

Cecil’s 11U Dallas Tigers fought long and hard, through 8 games with temps above a hundred for the first time this year, to place 4th in the Super Series Super 16 National Championship Tournament.

Skills competition yielded additional hardware for the around the horn portion of the contest.  Cecil’s Tigers – Lucas Caskey, Jacob Perry, Andrew Keefer, Logan Montoya, and Dylan Ditzenberger –  had the quickest time of all teams in the tournament.  Although not quite enough to win, Ronnie Taylor and Kevin House logged homeruns during the Home Run Derby portion of the competition.

Battling injuries and weather, Cecil’s 11u Dallas Tigers won the championship in the 2010 AAYBA World Series Diamond Division.

“It is always exciting to have former players return to coach our current players,” commented Tommy Hernandez, club President.  ”Coy brings with him a deep understanding of our club and what we work to accomplish in the development goals of our players.  Mix that with his extensive extensive college baseball career as well as college baseball coaching and we have a real valuable addition to our club.”

With a first year team he got his players into 10 tournament championship games out of 15 played over the last 12 months.  ”What Chad did with a first year team this season has only been done a couple of times in the 16 years of our club history,” said Tommy Hernandez, club President.  ”The results is a reflection of how he taught the game to his players.  Being competitive in bracket play affords your team more games, more at-bats, more plays, and ultimately more player development.”
