Wow, that is awesome! Teams obviously come from all over for a lot of tourneys, but for our young guys to win it all in such dominant fashion in Cooperstown on the 4th of July, dang that is good baseball... Proud of them as that's definitely a big W... Shookie is amazing, even if we all expect it from him at this point, but Leo Primeau sounds like he's pretty dang dominant himself ~ 16 shutout innings in 1 day, no chit??? Holy smokes batman, that guy must be good... Does he have an agent???
