The Lincoln County American All-Stars and the Lincoln County National All-Stars provided an exciting offensive battle Monday night as both teams fought hard to keep their season alive and advance to the district championship in Coach-Pitch AA 8-year-old Dixie Youth action at Keystone Park.

The Americans ended up eliminating the Nationals 19-13 in a late one game contest due to bad lightning around the area, which cause the game to be postponed for about 45 minutes.

Tournament action continues today as the Americans take on the Natchez All-Star for the District Championship beginning at 6 p.m. If a second game is needed it will start immediately after the conclusion of the first contest.

In Saturday tournament action, the Lincoln County Americans knocked off the Franklin County All-Stars 20-10 in the losers’ bracket. In the winners’ bracket, the Lincoln County Nationals lost to the Natchez All-Stars 15-11.

In a recap of Friday games, the Americans fell to Natchez 17-5 and the Nationals crushed Franklin County 22-1.
