The Juneau All-Stars won the Minors Special Games Tournament on Thursday night at Melvin Park.<\/p>\n

The team composed of 8-, 9- and 10-year-old girls reeled off three straight wins over Ketchikan in the best-of-five- game series in dominant fashion, posting 11-1, 27-19 and 15-5 victories.<\/p>\n

“It was a total team effort, everybody was hitting pretty well,” Juneau coach Phil Wheeler said. “When they were hitting, they were all hitting.”<\/p>\n

Juneau led the entire tournament except for two brief intervals in the second and third games. Ketchikan held a 2-0 lead midway through the first inning of the second game, and 1-0 advantage midway through the first frame of the third game.<\/p>\n

“Pretty young team, but we had all the heart in the world,” Wheeler said. “Same with Ketchikan, they were a very young team also.”<\/p>\n

Gwen Nizich and Peyton Wheeler shared pitching duties for Juneau. Nizich pitched a complete game in the first game, and the two teamed up in the second and third games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
