NEDERLAND, Texas — Nederland's 9 year old All-Stars put a five spot on the board during their opening at bat, then held on to beat Bridge City 5-4 for the District 32 Championship.
A night after falling to BC 12-3, Big Ned came out with plenty of energy in the first. The black and gold capped off a big inning with a Gabe Howerton base hit down the third baseline that scored Vince Hood. While the shot into left field would have likely scored more runs, the five-run rule went into effect when Hood touched home.
Bridge City would chip into the lead, but ultimately couldn't plate the tying run in the end.
