Cincy Flames 8, Virginia Crush 1

The Flames received 2 buys in the Championship bracket of the Cooperstown Dreams Tournament. In Round 3 the Flames met the Virginia Crush this year's 2007 Virginia state USSSA Runners-up. Both teams played great baseball, but the Flames ended up on top.

Noah Mehrle was once again lights out on the mound giving up just one earned run, and the Flames defense was once again fantastic behind him.

Offensively the Flames scored 2 in the first, 1 in the second, 3 in the fourth, and 2 in the fifth.
