At the championship game, Cody Cancelosi led of the first inning with a double. Nicholes Lopes came up to bat and hit Cancelosi in for the only run of the game. Outstanding pitching by Cancelosi, Lopes and Manny Ortiz along with a strong defense shut the opposing team out. Chase Smith made a difficult catch, after a pop up into the sun, at the bottom of the sixth left the team with only one more out to clinch the championship.
