13-year-old tourney final set for tonight

Clark County will get another shot at Little Rock Junior Deputy tonight when the two teams square off in the Babe Ruth 13-year-old State Tournament championship game at the Sports Complex.

Clark County eliminated Pine Bluff 7-6 in Tuesday's late game.

The host team Forrest City 13s, third-place finishers at the District 7 Tournament two weeks ago, were eliminated from the tournament on Monday when Sheridan rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to take a 6-5 win.

In other NEA tournament action the Jonesboro 13-year-old All-Stars fell 4-3 to Paragould Monday in the losers' bracket finals of the Babe Ruth state tournament, to finish third in the tournament.

Pocahontas knocked Jonesboro from the 12-year-old state tournament with a 5-2 losers' bracket victory Monday. Jonesboro finished fourth in the tournament.

Two Springdale pitchers combined to no-hit the Jonesboro 10-year-old All-Stars 13-1 in an elimination game of the state tournament Tuesday.

Jonesboro, 20-4, finished fourth in the tournament.

After a 3-2 loss to Batesville in the quarterfinals, the Jonesboro 9-year-old All-Stars defeated Van Buren 10-9 in the losers' bracket to take a fourth-place finish in the state tournament on Tuesday.

Jonesboro exited the tournament with a 12-0 loss to Springdale.
