No pain,

The Warner

Department,
with a little-to
lot of help from
some volunteer

youth coaches,
hosted a football
clinic Saturday
on Perkins Field.
Agenda items for
the day - areas
of interest were
broken down
into different
stations - includ

from blocking to
tackling to prop
er stance and
identifying each
of the various
positions.
Participants

Also, the games were
played on the spring train
ing fields of the Toronto
Blue Jays and Philadelphia
Phillies.
In the opening game,
the Lightning took on the
Baseball Factory, one of two
teams the Lightning would
face whose players come
from all over the United
States. The Baseball Factory
won 2-1 despite solid pitch
ing from Trent Franzago
of Peach County and Brian
Devoroux of Lee County.
The Lightning had the edge
in hits, but Willis said both
runs they gave up were
unearned.
The Tampa Select, the club
that would finish third over
all, fell to the Lightning 6-5.
The deciding run, ironically,
scored on a dropped ball by
the Tampa first baseman.

against the Kansas City Devil
Rays, the Lightning won 9-5
with four runs in the last
inning. Matt Hvizdzak of
Warner Robins had the “big
blow,” an infield hit that
brought in three runs.
It was on to champion
ship bracket play, where the
Lightning lost to the Frozen
Ropes of Dallas 14-9. Against
Team IBC, another club with
players from multiple states,
Georgia won 11-8 with a sev
enth-inning three-run rally.
Devoroux and Hvizdzak
keyed the rally with a pair
of doubles.
The tough loss came in a
rematch with Tampa Select
by a 9-6 score. Three errors
in this game led to six of the
Tampa runs.
“All in all, we did well,”
said Willis. “I was real
pleased with our 16-year
olds. We showed character.
There was no quit in any of
them, and there were times
when we could have quit.”
