The Manassas BATtle 7U baseball team followed its success a week ago in Varina with an undefeated weekend to win the 7U division championship at the 9th Annual Dog Days of Summer Tournament hosted by the Greater Manassas Baseball League (GMBL).
Playing four games over a span of three days, Aug 2-4, the BATtle didn’t lose on their way to a second straight championship weekend. They easily won their first game on Friday against the Mt. Vernon Patriots by a score of 14-4. They followed that success with a nail-biter against the Varina All-Stars, pulling off a 14-12 win after coming back from an early 5-0 deficit. They wrapped up pool play on Sunday with a dominating 26-2 performance against the Manassas Blue & Grey.
