Roswell 12U All-Stars Win Gwinnett Tournament

 

The 12U Roswell Renegades baseball team won the 7th Annual Panther Invitational in Lilburn.

After losing a heartbreaking 8-7 to Brookwood, Roswell came back later that afternoon to dominate Collins Hill 20-0 to close out pool play. When the elimination portion of the tournament was played, Roswell came from behind to defeat North Gwinnett 7-6, and then knocked off the number two seed and host, Parkview, 5-2. The championship game against Norcross had several lead changes, but the Renegades came out on top, 7-5, for their first tournament championship this year.

During the Collins Hill rout, fans were treated to a little history. Twins, Chris and Carson Knighton, became the first brothers in Roswell all-star history to each hit a homerun in the same inning. Chris hit a two-run shot early in the bottom of the third inning, to dead center field. Five batters later, brother Carson cracked a grand slam to close out the game.
