NATCHEZ &045; Adam Kaiser just won the Natchez Dixie Youth Minor League City Championship for his Scott’s Welding team!

What is he going to do now?

Now Mickey, Minnie and Disneyland will have to wait because Kaiser was promised a campout from his father, Scott’s Welding assistant coach Bubba Kaiser.

&uot;My dad said if we won we could have a campout at our house,&uot; said Adam Kaiser, who tattooed a 1-1 pitch into right field to score the game’s winning runs. &uot;I think that’s what I did it for. I’m not sure when the campout is going to be.&uot;

Kaiser, who along with his Scott’s Welding teammates watched in disbelief as El Toro Oil came all the way back from an 8-3 deficit to take a 9-8 lead in the top of the sixth, delivered a laser with the bases loaded and two out for the 10-9 victory in the bottom half.

Kaiser came on in relief of Trevor Williams in the sixth, surrendered the go-ahead runs to El Toro but made up for it when the aluminum was in his hands.

&uot;It was an off-speed pitch. I really didn’t even see it,&uot; Kaiser said. &uot;I was nervous. I felt like I had to come through for my team.&uot;

After the first two Scott’s Welding batters walked to open the sixth, El Toro pitcher Andy Middleton retired leadoff man Trevor Farmer into a groundout, which advanced the runners up a base, and struck out the next batter.

El Toro coach Tom Middleton called time after the second out to talk to his son, Andy, and the entire infield. They decided to intentionally walk Williams, who was 2 for 3 with a double.

&uot;When I went up there I said to myself, ‘This is for the game,’&uot; said Williams, who wore an American flag batting helmet. &uot;I didn’t like it when they decided to intentionally walk me.&uot;

It loaded the bases for Kaiser, who was clutch and delivered Scott’s Welding’s second Minor League championship in as many years.

For Williams, it marked his third consecutive city championship after being a part of winning teams on two coach-pitch squads.

&uot;First of all, Trevor Williams did a fabulous job for us through five innings,&uot; said Scott’s Welding coach Gary Farmer as he attempted to wipe off green silly string and attempted to dry out after his players doused him with the remains of the Powerade bucket. &uot;Adam Kaiser came in and did a great job for us. Then in the bottom of the inning, (Kaiser) came up and hit a shot to the wall to win it for us.&uot;

It was a disappointing end to a near perfect season for El Toro. El Toro were the winners of the Rebel League with a 12-1 overall mark and 8-1 in conference play.

Still, Tom Middleton appreciated the gutsy efforts of those in the sweaty, dirty red uniforms.

&uot;That’s how we’ve done it all year long,&uot; Middleton said. &uot;We’ve been down on the mat before, and I knew we were never out of it. I guess we just ran out of luck tonight.&uot;

After El Toro scored the game’s first run, the Confederate League champs Scott’s Welding struck back with three runs of its own in the bottom of the first for a 3-1 lead.

El Toro tied it up in the third when Garrett Coyle led of with a single and came around to score, followed by Eric Glatzer scoring.

The floodgates busted wide open for Scott’s Welding when the first seven batters of the inning reached base, five of which came around to score.

&uot;All throughout the game I thought we had the game won because we were up by five,&uot; said Williams, who struck out six batters before leaving with no outs in the sixth. &uot;They came back, but I knew we hadn’t lost the game yet because we still had our last at-bat.&uot;

All thanks to Kaiser’s mind wandering with the smell of a campfire, marshmallows roasting and celebrating a title with his teammates.

Bubba Kaiser tossed his son a game ball afterward, and told him, &uot;that’s one you’ll keep for a long time.&uot;

&uot;I really don’t know what to say about these kids,&uot; Scott’s Welding coach Al Hall said. &uot;They never quit fighting.&uot;
