Keys To Success



Chesapeake has some of the gaudiest offensive and defensive stats in the tournament
If they continue hitting near .351 and average 7 runs a game again, they've got a great shot at the title
Their lineup hits very well for average and stole 16 of 23 bases, so they need to be aggressive but not overly so
Their top three pitchers are as good as any in the tournament
If everything comes together, they could be there on the last day
