Bradenton, Florida: The Englewood Crabs kicked off tournament play for the 2013 Gold Glove Championship with an opening round match-up against the Riverview Rockets. The Crabs looked to avenge a loss to the Rockets at last month’s tournament which sent the Crabs home in the first round. This time, it was the Crabs who came out swinging, earning a 16-6 win over the Rockets. More importantly, this was the first win for the Crabs as a team, a great milestone for the team.  Click on the photo above to view photos from the Crabs/Rockets game .
