The USSSA Labor Day Kick Off began play today in the 9u division. Four teams entered this one including the Desert Cats, Desert Dogs, Rattlers, and Spartans.  The Desert Cats finished the day ahead of the pack with two straight wins, although both were just one run games. In game one they outlasted the Rattlers by a score of 12-11. In game two it did not get any easier as they beat the Desert Dogs by a score of 8-7. In other action the rattlers beat up on the Spartans 15-7.  

The Spartans came right back though as they battled the Desert Dogs to an 11-11 tie!  Pool play concludes tomorrow as the Desert Cats will put their 2-0 record on the line against the Spartans while the Desert Dogs will square off against the Rattlers. The playoffs will begin tomorrow at the conclusion of pool play with the Championship game taking place on Monday! This one looks like it could be anyones for the taking so stay tuned to TBS Arizona for all of the action!
