WARSAW – The home crowd will have something to cheer for Friday afternoon.

The CCAC Attack 10U baseball team reached the quarterfinals of the BPA World Series after a thrilling 6-3 win over Southwest Spartans of Fort Wayne. The Attack, comprised of players from Warsaw and the greater Kosciusko County area, needed an extra inning to get the job done. Tied at three after regulation, the Attack plated three runs in the top of the sixth and held the Homestead-based lineup off the board in the bottom of the sixth to advance to the quarters.

The Attack will take on Landsharks Blue at noon Friday, the winner advancing to the semi-finals of the double-elimination tourney. The Attack and Landsharks are both 3-0 in BPA play, so both are in good position heading into the weekend.

The Attack 13U team will also play Friday in a 10 a.m. tilt, but from the loser’s bracket after falling 5-4 to the Portage Tribe. After winning its first game Wednesday, the CCAC club will now have to win its way back into a championship scenario against the Velocity Bandits. To get back into a Saturday matchup, the Attack will have to win three games Friday to stay alive.

The other area team playing Friday was in the 11U bracket, which saw the Indiana Chargers lose its lead to the Pirates Elite of Elkhart County en route to a 5-2 defeat. The Chargers struck early with a run in the first, but saw a pair of errors bring in unearned runs that sent the Chargers to the loser’s bracket. After a 2-0 start on Wednesday, the Chargers will have to beat the LaPorte Crush at 10 a.m. Friday to stay alive. The Crush won two games Thursday by 10-plus runs to keep its tourney alive.
