The Demopolis 11-12 year old All-Stars advanced out of the sub-district as champions on Wednesday night beating Sumter 10-2.

Demopolis looked impressive all the way through the tournament and didn’t miss a beat in this game either, finishing the tournament unblemished.

Demopolis was down early in the game, but the bats finally come to life in the fifth inning, bringing the title home to Demopolis.

The Demopolis starting pitcher Logan Holley had some early control problems that he couldn’t shake. In the first inning, Sumter took an early 2-0 lead on some walks and a blooper over first base that scored one run.

Holley’s outing was a short one. The young hurler was pulled after the first inning.

The coach instead turned to fire-baller Chase Cameron, who was able shut Sumter down and strikeout six in five innings of work.

Demopolis scored one in the second inning on a wild pitch.

Demopolis’ bats finally caught fire in the bottom half of the fourth frame.

Pierre Thomas and Kole Thrasher scored on a single by Tyler Polk.

William Stewart hit a blooper into rightfield that scored Polk and Holley.

Payne Hasty reached on a fielder’s choice and was scored by a Louis Stuedeman single.

Walker McNiel blooped a shot over first to score Stuedeman from second.

Demopolis won 10-2 and now advances to play Clanton in the District Championship.
