Congratulations to the Bears!
2008 Minor Division TOC Champions!

Players win games, teams win championships. ~ Bill Taylor

The Bears won the Minor TOC tonight 7-1 over the M White Sox, witnessed by a standing room only crowd. The Bears came back from a defeat to the same M team a few days earlier to beat them on Sunday morning to force the "IF" game of the tournament tonight. 
Their 4th batter in the line up, hit a Grand Slam over the right center field fence in the bottom of the first inning to set the tone for the game. The two pitchers,one of which was the 8 year old, grand slam hitter  combined to limit the White Sox to one run. The Bears played terrific defense throughout the tournament, a couple of good plays cut off runs at the plate in the final two games.

Good coaches teach respect for the opposition, love of competition, the value of trying your best and how to win and lose graciously. ~ Brooks Clark
