The Greenfield All-Stars claimed the only win for
Weakley County teams last Tuesday in the Cal Ripken
12-and-under Southeast Regional Tournament at the Martin
Parks and Recreation Complex, taking a 5-4 win over
Virginia on an RBI single by Tony Robinson followed by
an error by the Virginia left fielder gave Greenfield
the win.

Virginia (Winchester) 7-3 to take the tournament title.
Greenfield 5
Virginia (Glenn Allen) 4
The single by Robinson and error to end the game capped
off a four-run inning by the Greenfield All-Stars,
erasing a three-run deficit.
Five consecutive walks to open the inning cut the
Virginia lead to 4-3 with no outs. Robinson’s bases
loaded single then allowed Matthew Fuller to score
before the Tyler Jones scored on the aforementioned
error.
Greenfield had taken the early lead, as Heath Crouse hit
his third homerun of the tournament to give the
Greenfield All-Stars a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the
first inning.
Virginia answered right back in the top of the following
inning as a rundown between first and second allowed
Brooks Snead to cross the plate and tie the game.
One inning later, Michael Boyle gave the Virginia team
the lead as he doubled then scored on an error to make
the score 2-1.
