Cary captures Junior Legion State Title, but not without a fight from Mooresville and SEG had Mooresville’s # in Round One of the playoffs

Cary(53-5) captures their fifth State Title in the 12-year history of the Junior American Legion State Tournament and Cary tops Mooresville 8-1 in the Final game of the double-elimination tournament…Cary defeated Mooresvile and Mooresville was trailing the Southeast Guilford Junior Legion team, going to the bottom of the 7th inning at SEG, in Round One of the playoffs(Game Five) and Lake Norman/Mooresville had to pull it out at SEG just to advance to the Second Round and then they go on to make it to the Final game of the tournament and that just goes to show you how close Southeast Guilford was in this year’s event/tournament….Good job by all, during the 2012 season….Locally Charlie Pannell and state-wide Bob Beeson, have worked hard in building this Junior American Legion Baseball program…..
