Monarchs Gold’s season came to an end at the semi-finals game against Dix Hill Dodgers out of New York at Ned Skeldon on Sunday evening. Gold had the momentum in their favor with a 3-0 lead through the 4th inning after scoring a run in each of the second, third, and forth innings and playing some strong defense.

In the top of the 5th inning the momentum had a significant change after the Dodgers started the inning with two singles, and a questionable umpire’s call reversal on a hit batter loaded the bases. Two more singles and a grand slam home run put the Dodgers in control with a 7 – 4 lead.

Gold was unable to put a hit series together to score anymore runs and the Dodgers with the momentum added two more runs in the 7th and 9th to clinch a trip to the CWS finals.

Gold played some incredible ball this season with an ending record of 35 wins and 13 losses winning the Toledo, Michigan, and Tri-State Leagues.

Good luck to all the players heading back to college with your fall ball, spring season, and your academics. 

Thank you to all the parents, fans, and sponsors of Monarch baseball this season. Our success was possible and enjoyed because of your support.
