Mark YourCalendar CSCA won its Spring Break Tournament for the second year in a row going 4-0

and winning in the semi-final and Championship games with late inning come-back victories. After winning the first two games 6-4 (Charlotte Amalie) and 11-1 (Centerville, VA), CSCA met fellow Broward County foe Pine Crest in the Semi- Final Game. After giving up an early 3-0 lead, the Crusaders trailed 5-4 entering the bottom of the 6th. Some great AB’s and two sacrifice fly’s by Kevin Knapp and Dom Ferrusi gave CSCA the lead. Nick Lamberti finished off the win after going 4 and 2/3 strong innings in relief. In the Championship Game, CSCA couldn’t get the ball rolling early, stranding runners, and failing to make plays when they needed them; they were behind 4-0 entering the 5th. Zach Butler walked, Derek Barra hit a double and then Kyle Pitts hit a 2 RBI double to cut the lead to 4-2. In the bottom of the sixth, Luke Bramos got it started with 2 strike 2 out single up the middle. After a Zach Butler single and Barra getting hit by a pitch, Pitts hit an infield single and Kevin Knapp walked in a run to tie the game. Ferrusi then legged out another infield single that gave the Crusaders the lead. Corey Johnson had gone 4 solid innings in relief, and Knapp came in to close the game out for his 6th save.

Corey Johnson was named to the All-Tournament Team after throwing 9 in-nings total and giving up only one earned run. Butler was named the Big Stick of the Tournament after going 5-10 with 2 doubles. Pitts garnered his second straight Spring Break Tourney MVP with an impressive performance going 9-13 with 3 doubles and 6 RBI. Other key performers for the Crusaders were Billy Atkins (8 IP, 1 ER, 3-6, HR, 2B, 3 RBI), Luke Bramos (4-8 with 5 BB, reached base safely 9-13 times), and Derek Barra (5-10 with 3 doubles).

It was a great team effort and gives the Crusaders some momentum heading into the State Playoffs. Congratulations to Coach Cleveland, the coaching staff, and all of the players!
