The SEK Impact’s 9-and-under traveling team took part in the T-Bone Sizzler tournament April 17-18 in Kansas City’s 3&2 Baseball Complex.
Impact took fourth, after splitting its pool play games, winning 18-8 over the Blaze and falling 10-6 to the 6-4-3 Dingers.
The split gave SEK Impact the second seed, where they fell, 20-15 to the 6-4-3 Dingers once again, despite putting up an eight-run fourth-inning rally.
The squad returns to Kansas City this weekend to take part in the May Slugfest Tourney.
SEK Impact’s 8-and-under squad played in an ultra-competitive bracket, falling 20-1 to the Smithville Storm, which is ranked seventh in the country.
On Saturday, Impact dropped a 20-1 decision against the Bombers, which is ranked no. 20 in the nation.
“It was a rough draw for them,” Brandon Thomas, one of the team organizers said.
The 8-and-under squad will return to Kansas City as well, but in a different competition level, Thomas said.
