STATE From page 1B said Hattaway. “They were well coached. He just made an error. He does his subs differently than most others. I don’t understand it.” Hattaway added that Buckhead just barely missed not getting two reserves into the game, but Warner Robins American got the last out on Buckhead against the next to-last player on the bench. Warner Robins American’s scheduled game Tuesday with Oconee American wasn’t rained out. The weather problems actually occurred Monday, and Hattaway said the games slated for Monday were pushed to Tuesday. That, in turned, moved the whole remainder of the schedule up one day. The semifinals were moved from Thursday to Friday, and the championship game from Friday to Saturday. As for Warner Robins American’s potential opposi tion in the semis, Hattaway said Northern Columbus is likely to be the top seed from the other pool. The other representative from that pool could be Master’s City, an Augusta team. Hattaway also expects Buckhead to round out the four-team champion ship bracket. “There’s still a lot of base ball to be played,” he said. “The boys have worked hard THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL and done a good job. We just couldn’t get a break (against Buckhead). Hopefully if we play them again the bats will be hotter.” This Warner Robins American 11-12 team is look ing to win the program’s first state championship in this division since 1992. One other WRALL base ball bunch, the 9-10 All- Stars, already captured a state crown this summer. That team is on its way today to Mitch Stadium in Ceredo- Kenova, WVa., for the sec ond annual Tournament of Champions. Warner Robins American’s first game is at 3 p.m. Saturday against South Forsyth Little League of Clemmons, N.C. Then on Sunday it’s another 3 p.m. start against Citrus Park Little League of Tampa. Greenwood Little League of Indiana is the third and final pool game for Warner Robins at 11 a.m. Monday. Warner Robins American is in pool C with Indiana and North Carolina. The game against Florida, in pool B, is a wild-card game. If Warner Robins does not sweep its two pool opponents, it can , still reach the championship bracket as the wild card with a win against Florida.
