The 10U Lake Orion Chargers had a big week. Fresh off their runners-up finish at the CABA State Tournament, the Chargers were clearly not done.
After playing five tournament games in three days, the Chargers finished their regular season with two more wins in the following three days over division rivals.
In their final game of the NOBF season, Dominic Maduri and Joe Turnbull combined to pitch a three hit 4-1 season ending victory over the eventual regular season league champion, Clarkston Riverdawgs. Cory Stockwell, Christian James, Maduri and Turnbull scored for the Chargers.
On the strength of this victory and their strong 16-6 league record, the Chargers earned a berth to the AABC District Playoffs in Marshall, July 5-7.
The Marshall District Playoffs consist of eight teams from throughout the state that will compete for one spot in the regionals to be held in Chesterfield Township from July 12-15.
