Game 1

#4 KBP Gold 18u (8-4) vs. #1 PG Steel 18u (10-2)

The first game of the PGNIL 18u playoffs should be a close  one. Each of the teams are in the top 3 for winning percentage, team runs scored,, team hits and team batting average.

The top ranked PG Steel is led by Spencer Van Scoyoc (2016 LHP, Cedar Rapids, IA). Spencer has ended the regular season rankings in the top 5 in extra base hits (16), RBI's (25), SLG % (.754) and OPS (1.200). Spencer has also shown the best exit velocity from the PG location, topping at 93 mph off the bat. Anthony Alepra (2017 OF, Cedar Rapids, IA) leads the team and the league in RBI's (30) while fellow team member Ryan Wyant (2016 RHP, Marion, IA) has the second most total hits in the 18u division with 56.

The 4th seeded KBP Gold team uses a consistent singles approach to put runs on the board. 5 of 6 players in the KBP Gold lineup currently sit with an battting average of .394 or higher. Chase Wilkerson (2018 RHP, Headland, AL) seems to provide the most consistent gap power, leading the team in extra base hits with 8. Jack Knight (2017 RHP, Dothan, AL) has also shown potential game changing bat speed with an max exit velocity of 89.8 mph, 3 extra base hits and 1 homerun that traveled 367.6 feet. Cade Blankenship (2018 3B, Headland, AL) and Jake Killingsworth (2020 C, Headland, AL) each show exit velos in the low to mid 80's with batting averages over .425. Together, KBP Gold proves to be a tough out in round one for PG Steel.

Game 2

#3 GTSA Gold 18u (6-3-2) vs. #2 KBP Red 18u (8-4)

 The advantage in game 2 seems to lead in the direction of KBP Red, but the GTSA Gold team shows the ability to put up mutil run innings which could put some added pressure the KBP Red team.

2nd seeded KBP Red is led by a MVP candidate in Jeffrey Omohundro (2016 SS, Dothan, AL). Jeffery has collected an impressive line of stats this session including 42 hits in 80 at0bats, 18 extra base hits, 19 RBI's and a max exit velocity of 94.5 mph. KBP Red will also look to Austin Thrasher (2018 2B, Dothan, AL) currently 17 RBI's and Don Williams (2020 C, Dothan, AL) currently 19 RBI's to drive in runs versus GTSA Gold.

3rd seeded GTSA Gold will look to use the long ball to their advantage in round 1. GTSA Gold leads all 18u teams in homeruns totaling 4 for the session. Braxton Boudion leads the team in homeruns (2), while Colton Hart lead the team in exit velocity (96.6 mph). GTSA Gold has the lowest batting average of all teams in the PGNIL 18u playoffs, but can hurt a team easily with their ability to hit the long ball.

 The winner of game1 and game 2 will meet this Thursday night for the 18u National Championship crown at 8:30pm CST. Following the PGNIL on twitter @perfectgame_NIL for up to date game highlights and scores.
