DES MOINES<\/strong> \u2013 Dan Wall found himself not throwing at the same pace he\u2019s accustomed too and out of sync. So he turned his trust over too his teammates and as a result Wall and Wilber Lime of Galesville, Wisconsin are NAFA World Series champions.<\/p>\n Down 3-0 in the first inning, Wilber Lime rallied for a 5-4 victory over a tough Palazzo\u2019s Java House of Des Moines to claim the NAFA AA World Series<\/a> championship late Saturday night.<\/p>\n Wall and his teammates found themselves on the short end in the top of the first after Palazzo\u2019s took advantage of three walks, a hit batter and two hits off Wall too take the early lead.<\/p>\n But Wall had a little talk with himself and settled down the rest of the way.<\/p>\n \u201cTonight I was too excited and the adrenaline had kicked in, and I was working too fast,\u201d Wall said. \u201cI had to slow myself down. I have good teammates, so I had to trust in their ability to get outs and they did.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Wall picked up his fourth win, allowing two earned runs on eight hits, five walks and seven strikeouts.<\/p>\n For Palazzo\u2019s manager Tony Palazzo and coach Scott Smith, there was nothing to feel too bad about on this day that saw their team win five of six games after losing 4-0 to Wilber Lime earlier in the double elimination tournament. Palazzo\u2019s stayed on the field for 12 straight hours to finish runner-up in the 12-team tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have this will to win,\u201d Palazzo said, whose ball club also finished runner-up in the 2009 AA World Series. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the team. As tired as they were they never quit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"wilber.team.photo.97web\"](\"http:\/\/ottoinfocus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/wilber.team_.photo_.97web.jpg\")
