As we move away from high school sports for summer vacation, there is no break for the athletes and families of baseball and softball players. Little league all-stars will kick into gear next week.

We got a sneak peak this past weekend with one of the travel baseball teams testing themselves at the Kevin Porter Memorial tournament in Franklin.

Weather dampened the Go-Devil’s 11 Under baseball team who won one and lost one. They were the third seed going into the final day which was rained out.

Friday the Go-Devils out hit their Clarion Wildcat opponents but suffered a 5-4 loss. Errors and walks doomed the young ballplayers.

That didn’t distract them from coming back on Saturday to break a can of whoop you-know-what on the Lake Erie Scouts 14-3 on a big day at the plate from Brayden Drayer.

The Go-Devils’ right-fielder hit a three-run homer and drove in two more on another hit in the seventh.
They scored eight runs in the third inning including Drayer’s dinger and rbi singles by Kaisen Boardman, who collected two in the inning, Wyatt Beck and Jimmy Vogus. Holden Brewer drew a bases loaded walk as well.

Declan O’Toole, who was the team’s starting pitcher, also went yard in the fourth inning with a runner on base. O’Toole only pitched two innings but struck out five batters. Vogus and Ben Wolfe also pitched for Titusville.
