Baseball anyone? Yes Marsh Creek has many after school activities, but some choose to take part in out of school activities like joining a sports team. The next article gives some insight into the world of baseball. ASBA Tournaments With a successful tournament this weekend for All Star Baseball Academy going 2-1 in Flemington, New Jersey. In the tournament from Marsh Creek 6th Grade Center was Matthew S, Kyle M, Sam B, and Jack R. Playing their 1st night game as a team we won the game 11-4 against the Dbacks. Unfortunately ASBA did not win the tournament but 3 people on the team hit home runs including yours truly Jack R with a slammer over the right field fence. But Jack R isn't the only one that hit a homerun, Kyle M hit one over the left field fence a few weeks ago in Bordertown, Pennsylvania. Previously Sam B pitched a flawless game but the defense didn't help him out, so he got the loss in the second game at 4:30pm. The third game, two of ASBAs players hit two home runs. And with Ian W getting the win in the last game of the weekend.we ended up getting the win against The Ravens. Even though we lost the tournament we went home feeling like champions, hoping we will win the next tournament at Ripken Baseball Experience in Aberdeen, Maryland, which is this weekend ( September )The Ripken tournaments is one of the biggest tournaments in the country. Last time ASBA was there we won the whole tournament. The team goes into the weekend with high hopes of victory. ASBA came in second place of 9/30/17 10/1/17 with a 9 inning game to get in the playoffs against the Chester County Rebels and getting the win against the Sluggers and a devastating loss against the BC Generals on Cal Ripken Sr. field. Stay tuned for our next tournament in two weeks place to be determined. - Jack R 5
