ROADRUNNERS READY FOR WINNER TAKE ALL FINAL
May 26, 2011 Tyler, TX
Championship Night #1
turned out to be a tough one for the Roadrunners as
they were defeated 15-2. The game started out
bad for GCC as Eastfield scored seven runs in the
first inning and the Harvesters never looked back
the rest of the night. The best thing for
Gloucester County College is that they have another
crack at Eastfield and the NJCAA National Baseball
Championship on Thursday night at 7:00 PM.
The Roadrunners will be ready as the pitching
staff's top guns Matt Spillman and Andy Sullivan
should be rested and ready to go. The game will be
webcast live again tonight and you can get that by
checking in on the official tournament website:
