12U Wasco Warriors Bow Out in Quarterfinals at Cooperstown
The 12U Wasco Warriors' run toward a Cooperstown Dreams Park title came to an end Thursday afternoon with a loss to Heat Baseball of North Carolina. After falling behind in the 3rd inning, the Warriors staged a comeback to take a one run lead. However, Heat Baseball posted a rally of their own to win by a score of 15-8. The Warriors appearance in the "Elite 8" marks the third consecutive year that a 12U team representing Wasco Baseball has advanced to the quarterfinal round. Congratulations, Warriors, on an excellent tournament!
