Metro Roundup: District Cal Ripken title on line today

Tribune-Star staff report The Tribune Star Mon Jul 06, 2009, 12:08 AM EDT

Two teams from Clay County and two from the host league will battle at 6 p.m. today at Riley for district Cal Ripken League baseball championships.

Clay County’s 10-year-olds are unbeaten in three games, but none of those was against the Riley Smodilla team that Clay County plays today. The Riley Smodilla team avenged its only tournament loss to Parke County in Sunday’s last game to reach the championship round.

Riley Flack is the unbeaten team in the tournament for 11-year-olds and plays a Clay County team it defeated 3-1 in an earlier round. Clay County reached tonight’s championship round with a pair of wins over Linton.

Because both tournaments are double-elimination affairs, a second game would be played tonight if either Riley Smodilla or the Clay County 11-year-olds win at 6.

Tournament scores so far are as follows.



At Riley

10-year-olds

Clay County 13, Riley Williams 6

Clay County 7, Monrovia 4

Parke County 4, Riley Smodilla 3

Clay County 4, Parke County 2

Riley Smodilla 10, Monrovia 0

Riley Smodilla 11, Parke County 2

Clay County vs. Riley Smodilla, 6 p.m. today, second game to follow if necessary



11-year-olds

Riley Flack 14, Riley Biggs 6

Riley Flack 3, Clay County 1

Linton 8, Riley Biggs 2
