The Arlington Senior Babe Ruth 14-under and age 13-16 All-Star teams had different results in recent Southeast Region baseball tournaments.
The state-champion 14-under squad finished 0-3 in Ocala, Fla. The team was 0-2 in pool play, then lost its one game in the playoff round. Arlington scored only two runs in the three games against some tough competition.
The 13-16 squad did much better in Fort Myers, Fla., going 2-0 in pool play with 11-1 and 2-0 wins, then 1-1 in the playoff round, falling 5-4 in its final game, which was the semifinals.
Alex Goodell, Chris Layman, Patrick Mellett, Ryan Cooney, Ryan Sullivan, Drew Welch, Trip Williams, Kyle Matsko, Brooks Clements and Tim Fulton were top hitters for the Arlington 13-16 squad.
On the mound, Sullivan fanned 10 in one game, and Rupert and Matsko pitched well.
The 13-16 team finished second in a preceding state tournament and before that won a district-tourney crown.
