July 11, 2002 - Dave Versuk strikes out the final batter with the tying run on second base to lift Franklin Township to an 8-7 victory over the Valley All-Stars and capture the District 4 Babe Ruth 15-year-old tournament championship. The winners use a seven-run second inning to grab the lead and then barely hang on to claim the title. Jon Venarchick delivers a three-run triple during the big frame, while Mike Deacy slugs a two-run homer. Versuk goes the distance on the mound, striking out 12. Franklin, coached by Ken Eck, also receives two hits from both Sean Steigerwalt and Cameron Klotz.
