The St. Mary's Babe Ruth 13/14 Blue Crabs went into the championship game Tuesday Night, June 30,  against the St. Mary's Red Sox with a 11-0 record and the perfect season on the line. After a stellar performance by PJ Murphy on Monday, pitching five innings in a 13-3 win would help the Blue Crabs save their full pitching line up for the final game.

Adam Hart would get the start and never look back throwing seven great innings while only giving up two runs. This allowed the Crabs to keep other players in key positions on the field to help with the defense. They outstanding play in the field from Noah Jarboe, Corey Barnes, Matt Hardy, Adam Nugent and Gunnar Abell to keep the Red Sox's in check. Tyler Burroughs and Joseph Nugent shared the duties behind the plate to keep the Red Sox runners from having a chance from moving into scoring position.

The Crabs started off the offense with their lead off batter Tyler Burroughs who started things off by stealing his way around to get the first run. This would be one of his 41 stolen bases in 12 games. The Crabs would continue the run production off the bats off Corey Barnes, PJ Murphy, Josh Cox and Adam Hart. In the closing innings, one of the Blue Crabs most improved players Christopher Cullins would steal home on a passed ball to keep the momentum going. The Crabs would score 7 on the way to a 7-2 win, a perfect season and a Championship.

A select number of players from the Blue Crabs will play in the State Tournament All Star Game in Frederick, MD on July 17- July 22. TBN will bring you results from the All Star game as they become available.
