Kingston Healthcare Sponsors Team
The Sylvania 55s team sponsored by Kingston Healthcare Company played in a USSSA tournament at the Lucas County Rec Center on June 25th & 26th.
The team played 3 tough games on Saturday and prevailed beating Shannon Fence 18 to 8, Detroit Blue Devils 18 to 7 and All in Sports 20 to 13. It was a good days work earning us a #1 seed for the next day.
On Sunday the guys picked up right where they left off beating the Old Stars 15 to 10. This took us into the final game and guess who we had to square off against? It was the the Old Stars the team we had just beat in the first game of the day. They played us then the Detroit Blue Devils while we waited for them. It started out okay for the Kingston Healthcare guys but the the Old Stars tightened up there defense beating us 13 to 10.
Not to worry we still had 1 more game to beat them for the championship. But the Old Stars seemed to get stronger and Kingston Healthcare couldn't seem to find any gaps in the defense.
Final record ended up 4 wins with 2 losses for 2nd place.
