The 2012 Tar Heel Leagues’ Coach Pitch and Junior division baseball State Tournaments were held last weekend, July 19 through 22, at Shelby City Park Recreation and Sports Complex. Local favorites, the Shelby Junior All-Stars won their first three games on Friday in the 13-14 age division, then were defeated by Hickory 6-3 on Saturday morning. However, the second game Shelby eked out a 13-12 win over stubborn Zebulon, after blowing an early 13-4 lead. On Sunday, they had to face Hickory again for the championship. Shelby needed two wins to claim the championship and with their booming bats, they won two straight 9-1 and 19-7. The Coach Pitch championship was won by West Raleigh.
