Dizzy Dean tourney comes to town  Dayton National Gavin Curtin connects with a pitch during the 6-year-old Dizzy Dean District Tournament, held at the Jim Barnes Baseball Complex on Market Street over the weekend.
Author: Cathy Barnes If you noticed an influx of people and cars in
downtown Dayton this weekend, it was likely due to the 6- and 12-year-old Dizzy Dean District
Tournaments being held at the Jim Barnes Sports Complex on Market Street.
Teams from Ooltewah, Harrison, Brainerd, South Pittsburg, Snow Hill, Sequatchie County, Middle Valley, Bradley North, Blue Springs and Soddy Daisy flooded the town for the five-day event, which was set to conclude Tuesday evening. At press time, the 6-year-old Dayton American All-Stars were slated to face Ooltewah in the championship game Tuesday night, and the 12-year-old Dayton Blue Jays were scheduled to take on the Harrison Aces. The older team made it to the finale with a triumphant comeback through the loser's bracket. After dropping their first game to the Middle Valley Rebels, the Blue Jays went on to defeat East Brainerd, South Pittsburg, the Harrison Cougars and Middle Valley in a rematch to make it to the finale. The Dayton Americans also rebounded through the loser's bracket, beating Snow Hill, Bradley North and finally Harrison 25-22 in the bottom bracket finals. Earlier in the tourney, the 6-year-old Dayton Nationals were knocked off by Bradley North and the 12-year-old Dayton Thunder bowed to East Brainerd. Across the region, the other Dayton Dizzy Dean teams are still in the hunt for postseason glory. The 10-year-olds are slated to play Snow Hill for their district championship, while the 9-year-olds will face Middle Valley for the title. The 8-year-olds are in their championship game against Bradley North, and the 7-year-olds have already won their district title by defeating Ooltewah 15-14.
