Let the 12U Navy vs. 12U Gold Texas Dawgs Holiday Classic Game begin!
Inning number 2 was the only inning that saw no scoring thanks to solid pitching from Dante and Chase and some solid defense. The Gold flashed some leather up the middle with a 6-4-3 double play with Brody and Jayden making slick turns in the middle (video).

In the bottom of the 2nd, Zac had a key throwdown (video) to 2nd base to catch the runner from stealing to stop any idea of a rally.

The Navy was able to scrape together another run in the top of the 3rd inning with Liam giving them a 5-0 lead by scoring on a wild pitch. In the bottom of the 3rd inning with the Gold needing a bit hit to get back into the game, Brady came up with the bases loaded and smashed a grand slam deep into the night (video) to put the Gold right back into the game. So, after 3 innings, it was 5-4 Navy.

The Gold got a scoreless frame in the top of the fifth with Weston retiring the side in order and setting them up for a chance in the bottom of the 5th. The Gold got their first two men on, but Noah retired the next two hitters leaving it up to Dante. With 2 outs and Brady and Brody on second and third, Dante drove a 2 strike pitch (video) into the left-center gap to plate both Dawgs and tie the game at 6, which is how the score ended.

What a great way to end the fall season for both teams. We’ll see you back on the diamond in 2021! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!
