Ball Busters continue the streak with 2nd place finish in the NSA State games

The team traveled to Charlotte this past weekend to compete in the Director's Cup NC state games.

Looking to pick up some points in the battle for the Director's Cup, the team decided to play despite missing several starters.

With the temperature hitting 90 degrees during the start of their first game, the team was battling the heat and a solid C team in Maxon/Moores Construction. The game ended with a 21-19 loss to the eventual winners of the C bracket play.

The Ball Busters team went on to play in the D bracket and took home a 2nd place finish.

Ball Busters win Luck Dog Invitational

Wrapping up three weekends in a row, the Ball Busters' team wins the Lucky Dog Invitational. This was an NSA Director's Cup series event and will surely boost the teams points in this series.

The team was looking forward to another good day on the field when they went into Sunday morning in the winner's bracket to face All the King's Men. However, the team's 8 game winning streak was snapped and they were sent down to the loser's bracket.

A come from behind / extra inning game against B&G started another winning streak and got the team into the championship game. They would need to "double-dip" All the King's Men (ATKM) to take home the tournament title.

The first game of the finals showed that the Ball Busters were wanting a back-to-back weekend of tournament titles. The team came out and run-ruled ATKM by a score of 26-11. This forced the "if" game and put all the marbles on the table for both teams. The Ball Busters rallied back again in the top of the 7th and held on for another victory, winning this Director's cup series event.
