They began the Tournament with a slugfest that resulted in an 18-17 nail biter over the American Legion. In game #2, they defeated a very game Tom’s Plumbing. Next were the winner’s bracket semi-final and a 6-0 win over Tourney favorite the Switch Inn. In the winner’s bracket final on Sunday, Rhodes came from 4 runs down in the bottom of the 7^th led by Tourney MVP Kevin Ferbur to defeat the Rockland River Cats 8-7 in 8 innings.
