All-Stars World Series bound  Dizzy Dean All-Star Cooper Ruehling picks himself up after sliding into third base during Monday night's semi-final game. Though the Dayton 7-year-olds fell to the Mean Green 21-9 in the semifinals, they secured a trip to the World Series.
Author: Cathy Barnes The 7-year-old Dayton Dizzy Dean All-Stars are
World Series bound following a third-place finish in their state tournament Monday night in
Ooltewah.
The hometown boys bested Harrison's All-Stars 20-19 with the help of a walk-off, RBI double by Keaton Ray in the final inning. Jared Fisher scored the winning run and finished the game with four singles, while Ray had a five-for-five night with four RBIs. Dayton held a sizable lead for most of the game after a seven-run opening inning, a six-run second and a four-run third. Harrison began to pick up steam in the fourth and fifth innings, however, to pull ahead 19-17. Third baseman Dawson Lytle tallied three crucial put-outs in the final inning, catching a line drive, running down a base runner and a relay play to Kyle Shaver at first, to keep Dayton's Dizzy Deaners in the game. A number of Dayton All-Stars contributed to the double digit run total. Jonah Butler and Jacob Gardner were four-for-four from the batter's box. Aaron Worthington and Jackson Harveston doled out three hits each, while Evan Parnell and Cooper Ruehling cracked two and Rachel Hostetler added one hit. The Dayton All-Stars fell to the East Brainerd Mean Green 21-9 in the semifinals, but will travel to Ringgold, Ga., on July 16 for the World Series nonetheless. The Dayton Dizzy Dean 6- and 10-year-old teams also concluded their state tournament runs this week. The 6-year-olds fell to Harrison in Monday night's quarterfinals, while the 10-year-old ended their bid against the Middle Valley Mustangs on Sunday. As of press time, the Dayton 12-year-olds were still alive in their bracket which was slated to conclude on Thursday. Cathy Barnes can be contacted at cathy.barnes@rheaheraldnews.com.
