Not all of the 11 runs scored by the Elizabethton National Aces were due to the illegal bat thrown out of play in sixth inning, but it had a big part in the Marshall County's 12U All-Stars' 11-6 loss at Jim Warren Park in Franklin Friday night in the first round of 12U Cal Ripken State Tournament pool play.
A lot of the early nine-run first inning damage was caused by a shot in their own foot by the MCYBSL squad as they committed five errors, hit two batters, walked two, uncorked two wild pitches, and let one passed ball go by in the fateful frame.

It was only fitting that the twelve-time defending champion Elks were on the plate last for the 2012 regular season champion Nichirin (10-2) squad, and for much of the game it was the Elks that held the upper hand until a defensive breakdown cost them in a 9-5 loss.
Starting hurler Chandler Harmon held Nichirin scoreless through three innings and Nichirin starter David Looney was just as tough, allowing just two unearned runs in the bottom of third.
