The Dizzy Dean Freshman Division World Series-Championship
"For 11-12 Year Olds, from Southaven, MS (7/27/11)"



The Limestone Bombers wrapped up play in the 12-year-old Dizzy Dean World Series in Southaven, Miss Thursday evening with a second-place finish.

In the finals, Valdosta, Ga. jumped out to an early 8-0 lead before the Bombers plated four runs in the fourth to cut the lead in half. Valdosta responded in the bottom of the inning with five runs of their own to go up 13-4. The Bombers made a comeback in the sixth, scoring five runs, but fell short in the 13-10 loss.

“It was an awesome run for the team,” head coach Jason Camp said. “We had 12 fine young men and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While we would have loved to come out on top, I am very proud of the accomplishments of this team. The venture to a second-place finish in the World Series with teams represented from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana is something we’ll never forget.”

AJ Harris led the team offensively, with four singles. Kenny Stevenson had a double and triple, while Taylor Thomas had a home run. Chauz Langford, Thomas and Hunter Pankey each singled.

Taylor Thomas and Grayson Edgemon saw action on the mound.

In the semifinals win over Acworth, Ga., Stevenson had two hits, including a triple. Hunter Pankey also had two hits, while Hunter Camp, Edgemon, Austin Hobson, Bryant Royals and Thomas each contributed a hit.

Edgemon, Thomas and Harris combined for the win.

For making it to the final four, the Bombers were rewarded with new uniforms, batting helmets, batting gloves and coaches shirt, as well as having both games televised on College SportsSouth.
