Saturday morning update:<\/strong> Deadwood lost their second game of the tournament, 9-5 to the Clearwater Pride. The Pride is made up of most of the Texas Stars that won the 50+ two years ago and were runner-ups last year. Deadwood took a 4-1 lead into the 5th inning and appeared to be headed towards an upset, before a series of miscues proved to be their undoing. Deadwood did score a run in the 7th and had the bases loaded before the side was retired.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning update #2<\/strong>: Deadwood bounced back from a loss in their 9am game, with a wild 14-10 win over the Houston Hawks. Deadwood trailed 6-3 early, but recovered to take a 14-8 lead, and 14-10 final.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon update:<\/strong>With fatigue and the heat setting in, Deadwood was eliminated by the So Cal Masters, 8-3 at Rough Rider Park in Prescott. Ray Smith was the winning pitcher for the Masters, over Deadwood. Steve Miner drove in two runs with a double, while Dan Zupp had long triple to deep centerfield for the ‘Wood.<\/p>\n

A first year 50+ team, Deadwood finished the tournament with a 2-2 record, and a tie for 9th place in the tournament. Their two losses were to the eventual 2nd and 3rd place teams, Clearwater Pride and the So Cal Masters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
