Reynold Corum remained firmly focused as he pitched the Blue Wings to a 10-9 win over the VG Ballaz.

The organisers of the tournament pulled out all the stops in an effort to keep the trophy in the USVI and out of the ESHS Rams hands. Recognising the threat of the Rams lineup, they decided to merge all the best players in St John, St Thomas and St Croix into an All Star Team.  All to no avail as the Rams came home with the trophy taking care of business in their usual “get it done” fashion.

Darier Malone hit 3 homers out of the park, Jeliisa “Shelley”  Potter also hit 3, J’Heane Niles hit 1 as did Denecia Hodge to name but a few of the scorers. The Rams won the first game 5-1, then second 14-13 the third “by a lot” according to Jelissa Potter and in the championship game were taken to an extra inning before winning by one to complete yet another undefeated Ruby Rutnick Tournament.

Also in the squad were Bria, Kia, Thea and Riiah along with Karen, Flower and Misha.
