"Conor pitched a great game, he kept us in it through five innings," Coach Tom Wiechmann said.

In the championship game against Eden Prairie Red, the All-Stars were down 3-2 in the top of the seventh inning.

Johnson drove in two runs with a single to give Austin a 4-3 win. Kirby came in to relieve starter Trevor Englund with two innings of scoreless ball to earn his third pitching victory of the tournament.

"This was Trevor's first game for us and he did a nice job.

He kept them off-balance most of the game," Coach Wiechmann said. "Conor's hit was the key of the game.

Both teams played well and had timely hits, we just happened to have the last one."
