VSA Sluggers Take Comeback Victory for 14U BCS Qualifier

The VSA Sluggers persevered for the 9-8 victory over SBA Florida Scout Team 14U in Monday’s matchup in JetBlue Park’s stadium.

SBA Florida Scout Team built up a 8-1 lead by the top of the sixth, but VSA Sluggers rallied by scoring 7 runs in the sixth inning to tie things up. The final run came on a walk in the bottom of the seventh.

The VSA Sluggers showed how far their talent spread with five different hitters contributing an RBI. Left fielder Yandel Adan, center fielder Jayden Caraballo and extra hitter Sergio Silva III each knocked in 1, while second baseman Christian Arias and third baseman Anthony Avila both tacked on 2.

Arias didn’t just put in the work on offense, but on the mound as well. The right-hander used low-80s fastballs and low-70s curveballs to strike out 3 batters over 2.1 innings.

The VSA Sluggers won’t be traveling far, staying in Fort Myers with their BCS Qualifier title for next weekend’s 14U City of Palms Championship June 14-17.

Scorpions South Florida Stings Ttp 2027 to Win 15U Championship

The scorching Southwest Florida sun was no match for the fiery performance of the Scorpions South Florida, who blazed past Ttp 2027 with a commanding 10-3 run-rule victory.

From the start, both teams executed communicative defense and powerful offense with 5 runs scored in the first inning. 

However, the Scorpions pitching was venomous with no antidote. 

Leading the defense was right-handed pitcher Dylan Ober. With 89 pitches in 6.0 innings, he struck out 5 batters and topped out at 78 mph. 

Igniting the offense with two stellar performances were shortstop Enzo Hernandez and catcher Brandon Omslaer, both going 1-2, smashing a double and scoring 2 runs for the Scorpions. 

As the fifth inning unfolded, the Scorpions unleashed a commanding offensive surge, racking up 4 runs with third-baseman Jayden Garcia's clutch single driving in 2 runs.

A single from extra hitter Calvin Lee in the sixth inning brought Enzo Hernandez home and secured the win for the Scorpions in a run-rule.

Next week, the Scorpions South Florida 2027 are heading to Jupiter, Florida to battle it out in the 2024 15U Perfect Game Jupiter Invitational June 17-20. 

Knight Knation Florida Shatters Diamond Level to Win the 16U Championship

After an intense, back-to-back showdown, Knight Knation Florida showcased remarkable patience and unwavering dedication to clinch a 6-5 victory to bring down Diamond Level. 

It was a back-and-forth battle between the Knights and Diamond Level which exceeded into an extra 2 innings of play. Diamond Level confidently scored 2 runs at the top of the ninth putting them in a good spot, but the Knights Knation put on their armor. 

Right-handed pitcher Jordan Roberts threw 62 pitches, working consistently in the 75-79 mph range, to strike out 5 batters in 5 innings. 

“My strategy on the mound was just to throw strikes, compete and try to win the game,” Roberts said.

Coming in as a reliever was right-handed pitcher and third baseman Brock Budreau, who pitched 3.1 innings, striking out 4 batters topping out at 85 mph. 

Budreau’s offense contributed greatly to the final score, going 2-4 with 2 RBI. 

Catcher Xander Arias and MVP Jasper Davis also tacked on an RBI each.

The bases were loaded as right fielder Maddox Mullett stepped up to the plate. Mullett cracked the bat on an 81 mph fastball, shooting the ball into center field, driving in the winning run.

“At bat, I was just trying to relax, I got two strikes quick then I knew I could handle the pitcher. Then, I got a pitch and I just flicked it and it went through,” Mullett said. “It’s the last game so it’s worth it to play the whole game hard and it was fun. I had a great time.”

FTB Lime 18U Dominates for 18U PG Florida Select Championship

FTB Lime 18U took advantage of defensive miscues from FBA 17U to snatch the 10-2 victory on Monday in JetBlue Park.

The past few days were catching up to everyone on Field 6 - the heat, humidity and the understandable fatigue that comes with getting your team to the championship match. While those factors weighed on FBA 17U, FTB Lime 18U repeatedly found windows to steal and score - steadily building their lead up to the run-rule win by the bottom of the sixth.

It wasn’t easy, though, as right-handed pitcher Daniel Reyes explained how he handled one of this game’s many challenges.

“Honestly, during this game, they were kind of getting to me with that chirping,” Reyes said. “I just had to block it out…I started singing in my head…”

This method seemed to work for Reyes on the mound - as he racked up 7 Ks in 3 innings. He worked mostly in the mid-80s with his fastball, topping out at 87 and mixing in a high-70s slider.

The reliever for Reyes, right-hander Sean Cabrera, pitched the other 3 innings, showing efficiency with 32 pitches thrown and 2 strikeouts. Cabrera used a low-70s fastball and low-60s curveball to get the job done.

Cabrera also contributed offensively - knocking in 2 runners. First baseman Damian Leyva also tacked on 2 RBI. Right fielder and Gardner-Webb commit Nicholas Adrian notched 4 RBI on the game - the most out of his teammates.

“It was really hard to keep the energy up,” Adrian said. “But you got to, to get here…we pushed through and we came out with the win. [We’ll] stay on a hot streak and hopefully win the next one as well.”

FTB Lime 18U will be staying in Fort Myers for next weekend’s 18U City of Palms Championship June 14-17.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2029
Today we wrap up our look back on the leaderboards throughout all the classes, taking a peak at the 2029s who won't enter high school for another year, but that didn't stop them from putting up big numbers.

'24 PG Leaderboard: Class of 2027
Today we make our way to the Class of 2027 and it's a class that is already known for its top flight talent, but also the overall depth, that gives it the chance to be a special group come the time they are seniors.

Class of 2028 Tourney All-American Team
It’s to no surprise that these teams are chalked full of talented young prospects as many of the players ranked in the Top 100 of this class fill up both sets of Tournament All-American teams, but there are many individuals on these lists that aren’t yet ranked and performed at a level this year that is recognized.

Class of 2029 Tourney All-American Team
We'll open up by saying this; putting together these two teams wasn't an easy task and we could've easily filled another 2 teams without breaking a sweat. There's a mix of Festivalers from last year's 13u game, top 100 ranked players and others who put together spectacular 2024 campaigns and are more than deserving of this recognition.
