More moments from Italy’s final innings of the 2013 season
Forney — After claiming the district championship and receiving an automatic bi-district championship, the Italy Gladiators defeated Lindsay in two games, 2-1 and 9-2, to claim the area championship but lost two games to Trenton, 2-0 and 8-2, to finish the 2013 season as regional quarterfinalists.
Despite the loss to Trenton, it was a sensational season for Italy, especially for the seniors, whose class led the Gladiators into the playoffs in three separate sports including football, basketball and baseball.
Congratulations to the baseball team and thank you seniors for all your efforts. It has been an exciting ride!
