The Bryant 12-year-old All-Stars got the 2016 12-and-under District Tournament underway in disappointing fashion at Bishop Park on Thursday night. The White Hall All-Stars handed Bryant an 8-1 setback.
The Bryant team, coached by Jason Greiner, includes Braedon Boyce, Gage Buford, Gavin Burton, Caleb Greiner, Drew Hatman, Connor Martin, Colby Morrow, Calvin Myles, Kyler Pabon, J.T, Parker, Cade Parker, Turner Seelinger and Hayden Thompson.
A pair of White Hall pitchers held Bryant to just four hits. Martin, Cade Parker, Thompson and Boyce had one apiece with Parker’s going for a double to drive in the lone Bryant run.
White Hall took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second then added two in the third. A four-run fourth broke the game open.
In the fifth, White Hall added a run then Bryant broke through in the home half. Martin singled and Morrow worked a walk ahead of Cade Parker’s double.
Morrow tried the score on the play as well but was thrown out at the plate. Seelinger, the fourth Bryant pitcher, struck out the side in the top of the seventh but, in the home half, no one reached base for the Bryant Stars.
