They had been knocking on the championship door all year and finally just decided to knock the door down.  They posted 37 runs over a four game stretch and went 3-1 to take the first place trophy at the Spring Shootout in Aiken South Carolina.  The Diamondback team put themselves behind the gun by dropping the first game 9-1 to a very good Major division team and regrouped themselves to show no mercy the rest of the weekend. 
     After regaining their composure the second game and winning 11-5 they walked through the next two games on Sunday carrying some big sticks and flashing some great leather.  The Diamondbacks won the last two games 13-4 and 12-2 to take their first championship of the year.   
     Congratulations to the 10-u Diamondbacks and their success in this tournament.  The team will be playing locally the next two tournaments; May 3-4 in Summerville and then again on May 17-18 in North Charleston.
