The Warriors needed two things to happen tonight to advance out of pool play in the Oak Lawn Westside tournament.
First, the Warriors needed to beat the undefeated Oak Lawn Westside Warriors. Second, the Warriors needed to allow less than six runs in the game.
Despite winning the game, the Warriors allowed the sixth run on a two out triple in the bottom of the fifth inning. That sixth run gave our team a total of 28 runs allowed--which was tied with another of the tournament teams for the least number of runs allowed throughout the tournament. So, the next tie breaker scenario came into play.
The next tie breaker went to run differential. In that statistic, our team fell 8 runs short of another tournament team.
If the Warriors had given up just one less run over the past three games--the team would be playing on Tuesday and still alive for the tournament championship!
