Four Rockets earn honor
Local roundup
BATTLE CREEK, Mich — The Rockets fell short in their quest for a world series title.
But some of their players were honored for their performance in the final tournament of the season.
Four Portland Rockets players were named to the National Amateur Baseball Federation all-World Series Tournament team Tuesday.
Max Habegger, the grandson of Berne residents, was one of six pitchers selected for the honor.
The Carmel resident allowed one run on four hits while striking out two batters and walking three in 8 1/3 innings in a 4-1 victory against the defending national champion Brooklyn Sports Fever on Thursday in the second game of pool play.
Mitch Waters, a 2002 Jay County High School graduate, was selected as a first baseman.
He batted 5-for-15 (.333), and earned his first all-tourney nomination after reaching the world series eight times in his career.
Zach Tanner led the Rockets by going 7-for-15 (.467) over the tournament.
Tanner was honored as a infielder, as Brandon Reamon (7-for-16) got the nod as an outfielder.
Portland, which finished its season 35-12, reached the NABF World Series for the second time in team history and the first since 2012.
The Rockets won their pool with two victories Aug. 10, but were eliminated in the tournament quarterfinal Saturday.
