UC Santa Cruz Tournament Writeup
Hours after the Sweet Meat's maiden voyage, Dark Meat set out to protect their California High School Championship dominance. Standing in their way were the brightly yellow clad San Luis Obispo team. After taking SLO took a quick lead, Alameda roared back, able to take half time 7-6. As the lead switched many times, Alameda came out on top 13-11. Although exhausted, Alameda was immediately set up to face Brian Scott, and the U of Oregon Ducks. As tired as they were, Alameda eventually fell 10-6 in a game that was soft-capped.
The following day, Sweet Meat struck first, in a shocking upset, defeating Santa Clara 14-1. While on the lower fields, Dark Meat faced up with familiar faces Nick Chapman, Kyle Thomas, and Cameron Chan against UC Santa Cruz. As close a game as it was, there had to be a winner and Santa Cruz limped ahead 14-13, but not before Eric Ramos scored 7 of Dark Meat's 13 points.
