San Benito Head Coach Ramiro Partida, Jr. was pleased with his players and their outcome, especially in the championship game.
“As for our tournament, our kids played well. We did well in all three phases – pitching, defense, and offense,” Partida said.
The ‘Hounds defeated Donna North by a 6-5 score and Marine Military Academy, 9-7.
They went on to overwhelm Raymondville, 12-1, behind a two-hitter from a couple of pitchers, Robby Leal and Josh Baez.
