Immediately after the last out was recorded, the tournament was delayed because of inclement weather.

Added suspense for the second game of the day featuring the 2020 state tournament champion, Gauthier Amedee and the 2019 champion, Gibbs Construction.

Gauthier Amedee’s Theodore Webb pitched a complete game shut-out, striking out 8 batters to give the Wombats the 1-0 victory.

A bases loaded walk to @WillDelaune in the bottom of the 3rd inning scored @ReeseLipoma , the lone run in a 1-0 win over @GCCardinals. @Teddywebb07 pitched the shutout, allowing 6 hits and striking out 8. GA will play the @DrillersLA Saturday at approximately 11:30.
