It was a tough ending to an otherwise competitive night for Zach Stiens and the Stars, who battled hard but ultimately fell to JP Sports Black after a dramatic late-game rally.
The Stars held their ground through the early innings, playing clean, aggressive baseball and keeping JP Black in check. Zach continued to set the tone at the plate, picking up a key hit that helped the Stars stay in striking distance as the game moved into the later frames.
Then came the bottom of the fourth.
With momentum building, JP Sports Black put together a massive surge, exploding for 10 runs in the inning. The sudden offensive burst proved too much to overcome, swinging the game in their favor and sealing the outcome despite the Stars’ best efforts to answer back.
While the final score didn’t go their way, the fight and resilience shown by Zach and his teammates is exactly what defines this group. Late-game heartbreaks are part of the journey, and games like this only sharpen a team’s resolve as the Tournament continues into bracket play elimination.
The Stars will take the lessons from this one, regroup, and be ready for their next challenge — hungry to turn tough losses into future wins.
