VAUSSSA.com NIT
Petersburg, VA
May 22-23, 2004
Golden Corral made a
strong showing in this weekends vausssa.com NIT in Petersburg, VA. GC opened the weekend against Team Poison (VA). This game saw GC blow an early lead and head into
an extra inning, before pulling away in the top of the eighth in route to a 23-17 win. Next up was the powerful USA Team Sports team from
Maryland. Neither team burned it up with
the bats in this one, but USA managed to hang on for the 18-14 victory to send The Corral
into the dreaded losers bracket. GC met
a high-scoring Homescape team from North Carolina. As
the weather cooled Saturday, the Golden Corral bats heated up. A 12-run first and a 10-run third pushed the game
out of reach early on and Homescape never recovered, as GC won the run-rule game 31-6. Sunday morning was a big game for GC. Awaiting them was the very strong Aheron
Builders/Lions Lair (NC). GC has had tough
luck versus this outstanding team lately and wanted to change that. However, it didnt look good as Aherons
first eight batters scored in the top of the first. GC
played catch up all game, trailing 15-1 and later 25-10.
But this was a well-played game by both teams, and GC just kept coming
back. A couple of superb plays in the infield
held Aheron to only a 1-run lead going into the bottom of the seventh. After two quick outs, The Corral managed to plate
the two needed runs to cap off the exciting 32-31 win.
Next up was Awful Arthurs (VA).
This one went back and forth in another offensive battle. AA stepped up with eight huge runs in the
top of the eighth and held on for a 32-29 victory.
