The stat that has impressed me the most is the performance by ETBU RHP Isaac Thornton against Denison.

His line read 12.2 IP, 7 hits, 4 runs all earned, 8 BB 12 K's ERA 2.84

ETBU won 5-1 in Game 1 (Thornton pitching 7.2 IP). Thornton left after 5 innings on 2 days rest ahead 6-3 in the "if necessary" game.

I disagree with the selection of the all-tournament pitchers.  I believe that ETBU's Isaac Thornton had a better tourney than Austin Kreyenhagen  -- 6.0 IP 4H 1R 1ER 5BB 8K and 27 batters faced.

His line read 12.2 IP, 7 hits, 4 runs all earned, 8 BB 12 K's ERA 2.84  (and 53 batters faced).

ETBU won 5-1 in Game 1 (Thornton pitching 7.2 IP). Thornton left after 5 innings on 2 days rest ahead 6-3 in the "if necessary" game.

Thornton got the win that broke Denison's 44-game win streak. That defeat threw Denison into the consolation bracket. The extra games incurred almost broke the pitching staff.
