Warriors End Weekend on High Note!

Our Warriors ended the weekend with success, defeating the Palos Colt Select team 13-3 Sunday night.  The game had many great plays throughout, but the celebration of the night came in the 6th inning when Julian Guttierez hit a Grand Slam, bringing in Lance Cardinal, Robbie Maxfield, and Sam Marc and giving the Warriors a 12-6 lead.  The excitement caught this photographer off guard, leading the a less than perfect photo finish...but I'm still posting it nonetheless!

Saturday the Warriors defeated the Dolton Cylcones 12-3.  A Winning all around for our players!
