MELL teams do well in postseason   07/04/12 - 12:14am

Martinez-Evans Little League teams showed what they were made of in postseason play.

MELL began with eight All-Star teams and wound up winning three District Six championships.

Two teams competed in the 7-8 machine pitch tournament and three teams competing in the 9-10 age division.

The 7-8 machine pitch Nationals started things off, beating the Masters City Little League’s (MCLL) gray and white teams. The Nationals then knocked off the MELL Americans and defeated MCLL White, 19-4, on June 20 to win the title.

This year has been very good to Martinez-Evans Little League baseball teams. Among the five age divisions that field all-star teams, MELL has claimed district titles in three different age groups and finished as the runners-up in the other two.

The teams who won district championships now gear up for the state tournament, with their eyes on a spot in the Southeast Regional.

The MELL Junior All-Stars are looking to repeat at the state tournament. Last season, they won the Georgia title before bowing out in the Southeast Regional.

With the way the crowd was cheering at the end of the mixed 18 and under freestyle relay – the night’s final event – it felt like the race would decide Tuesday night’s swim meet.

With the division title on the line in the regular season’s final meet, the Tiger Sharks jumped out to an early lead and went on to a 560.5-471.5 win.
