The South Florida Beach Bums finally found some offense in Saturday's final pool play game at the Roger Dean Complex in Jupiter, but came away with another disappointing loss, this one by a 12-10 score against the So Cal Elite from Southern California.  The Beach Bums lost doubleheaders on both Thursday and Friday to go 0-5 in the Florida event, a direct opposite from their 4-0 start in the Palm Beach Fall League (see below).  .  

 

Brian Holden (Rockhounds) turned in a brilliant pitching effort in the Beach Bums' best tournament showing on Fridday, but lost a heartbreaker, 2-1, against the New York Redbirds.  

 

The two championship events are slated for Roger Dean Stadium today.  

 

The tournament has drawn teams from all over the country, including Southern California, Chattanooga (TN), San Antonio (TX), Richmond (VA), New York, Philadelphia, as well as a team from Canada.
