Playoff baseball is the culmination of dreams, expectations and goals on display for every player on the field and between Excel and Reeltown the clash in game one was just as important as a state championship game.

Balks from either side occurred, errors and sharply hit balls all over for each side set the tone of what would be an excellent game. But Reeltown had their work cut out for them. In the early innings, the Rebels couldn’t find a way to keep Excel off the basepaths as pitcher Gabe Bryant surrendered a few early runs before being pulled in favor of freshman Adam Burton.
