Fox Island is the Division B Champions!

by Rob F. on August 10, 2009

The Fox Island Firefoxes are the first ever GHCSL Division B champions after on of the most remarkable runs through the tournament in history.  In the semi-finals, they beat the Harbor Covenant Cubs 16-15.  In the final game of the winners bracket, they defeated the Peninsula Lutheran God Squad 15-14 in 8 innings.  And finally in the Championship Game, they again beat Peninsula Lutheran by one run, 13-12.  All three games by one!  The Championship Game was a thriller, with Fox Island jumping out ahead early 7-1.  Peninsula Lutheran fought back with a max 7 run inning to take the lead 8-7.  The lead changed hands twice more with the God Squad holding a 12-11 lead after the top of the 7th inning.  The Firefoxes were down to their final out, and hit a 2 run game winning triple to win the game!  Fabulous tournament all around in the B Division.  Congrats to the Fox Island Firefoxes on a fine season!
