Aces win Dewey Tauer Tournament

Great pitching, stellar performances and high emotions carried the Red Wing Aces to the victory every step of the way in the Dewey Tauer Tournament.

The team posted back-to-back 5-4 wins coming off Friday's 13-3 trouncing of New Richmond. On Saturday, Red Wing defeated the Austin in the 11th inning following a rain delay after the 10th. On Sunday, the team held off Mankato to take the championship.

For player/assistant manager Andy Gibart, winning the local tournament and having a 15-4 record halfway to August signal the Aces are well on their way during this transition year.

"I don't think we could have asked for a better start or a better outcome for the first half," he said.
