drive while pitching. It is great to say that today
Christine has overcome this injury and is back on the mound
pitching.

GCVC 12-1 Knock Out's finish 2nd in Gold at Columbiana
Tournament
The Glass City 12-1 Knock Out's competed with 15 other teams over
the weekend at Columbiana. In Pool Play , the 12-1 Knock Out's
defeated Ohio Elite West Holmes, Max Air 12's, and Renaissance
Pittsburg
12-1 in two games each. This placed the 12-1
Knock's 1st in their pool and in the 8 team Gold Tournament.
In the Gold Tournament, the 12-1 Knock Out's defeated Renaissance
Cleveland Black and Infinity Volleyball Club to advance to the
Championship match against the undefeated Pittsburg Magic (Pink).
The 12-1 Knock Out's won the first game of the championship match
25-21. In the second game with the score tied at 20 and Glass
City serving, the scorer's table called the Glass City Knock Out's
for an out of service order. After a lengthy review of the
book, the official could not determine when the scorer's table made
the error and gave the serve to the Magic and forced the 12-1 Knock
Out's to rotate 2 positions (which was incorrect). The Magic
won the second game 25-23. The 12-1 Knock Out's worked hard in
the third game but came up just short losing the game 15-13.
The 12-1 Knock Out's finished second out of 16 teams.
Congratulations to the 12-1 Knock Out's and coach Rick Gerkin on a
job well done.
