Andrew Dunlap, Tyler Danish Win MVP Awards >>

Gm # 297 | 10/10/2011 | 2:00 PM Chet Lemon's Juice vs. Marucci Elite

10/10/2011 3:15:38 PM

The winners of the Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher Awards from the 2011 WWBA World Underclass Championship have very unusual, if not unique, tournament resumes.

No one can remember a pitcher going 3-0 with a save in a tournament before.  But that's what RHP/3B Tyler Danish (2013, Durant HS, FL) did for Chet Lemon's Juice this weekend.  Danish threw a total of 14 innings over his 4 appearances, allowing only 3 hits and a walk to go with 15 strikeouts.  Danish, who was up to 91 mph with his fastball, didn't get to rest on his laurels when not on the mound.  He went 5-13 with 3 Rbi's playing third base for the Juice as well.

It's pretty certain that no player has won an Most Valuable Player Award at a WWBA or BCS event before while getting only 4 hits (4-17, 9 Rbi's).  But C Andrew Dunlap's (2013, Westbury Christian HS, TX) hits were so important and impactful for Marucci Elite that there was really no choice.  In fact, when Marucci head coach Chad Raley was asked immediately after the championship game if he was OK with Dunlap as MVP, he immediately and emphatically responded "Heck Yes!"

In the first game of the playoffs against the St. Louis Pirates, Dunlap came up in the bottom of the first inning with the bases loaded, 2 outs and no score and laced a bases clearing triple.  Those initial three runs held up in the Elite's 5-0 win.

In the quarterfinals Sunday night, Marucci found themselves tied with the Dirtbags 3-3 with the momentum on the Dirtbags side with 2 out in the bottom of the 4th inning (this was a 5 inning game necessitated by the rain).  Dunlap blasted a solo homrun that provided the final 4-3 margin.

Then in the semifinals, with FTP Mizuno holding a 7-5 lead in the 5th inning, Dunlap again came through in the clutch, this time with a huge 400'+ grand slam to left centerfield that again set the final margin in Marucci's 9-7 victory.

10/10/2011 2:46:10 PM

Chet Lemon's Juice battled hard, after falling behind 6-0 they refused to go down quietly, battling the defending champion Marruci Elite at every turn. But Marucci escaped a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 7th inning to clinch their second straight WWBA Underclass World Championship 9-6. RHP Tyler Danish was named Most Valuable Pitcher with a 3-0 record, 1 Save and 14 shutout innings for the Juice. Marucci C Andrew Dunlap was named MVP after three straight playoff clinching hits, including a grand slam in the semifinals.

10/10/2011 2:25:29 PM

In the bottom of the sixth Dylan Allen continued to will the Juice along, in addition to numerous impressive defensive plays at 2B he roped a 2 out double to right. But ultimately he was stranded in scoring position. In the top of the 7th Marucci put together four straight singles by the top of the lineup and then added another to extend the lead to 9-5. Bryce Wellborn will come on to close for Marucci, three outs away from back-to-back championships.

10/10/2011 2:16:34 PM

Championship update: Juice holds >>

10/10/2011 2:07:35 PM

Chet's Juice lefty Charles Fowler kept his team within one run by striking out Jarret DeHart before a walk put a man on first. Yet another great defensive play by 2B Dylan Allen robbed Nick Junger of what looked to be his third hit of the game. Another ground ball and Chet's is coming to bat in the 6th needing just obe more to come all the way back from 6-0.

After a disappointing end to what looked a big inning in the fourth it would have been easy for Chet Lemon's Juice to roll over and accept defeat. But after a 1-2-3 top of the fifth the Juice got a little help from Marucci with a pair of 1-out walks followed by an error before CF Josh Greene drilled a liner that landed just inside the RF line for a 2-run triple. Nick Gordon followed with a hard ground ball back up the middle to plate Greene to cut the defect to one. A pair of ground balls ended the threat with the Marucci lead (barely) intact.
Championship update: Chet's makes it interesting >>

10/10/2011 1:44:18 PM

A walk, an error and a walk loaded the bases for the Juice in the bottom of the fourth, chasing Vassar from the game. 1B Justin Ambrosino greeted reliever Andy HoniOtes with a nine pitch battle. Ambrosino drove liners down each foul line for what were inches from bases clearing doubles on consecutive pitches before driving a liner that registered at 89 mph off the bat...only to be snared by 2B Spencer Trayner. Grant McKown then hit a sac fly to RF to plate Nick Gordon before cutoff man Nick Junger doubled off Tyler Danish between 2nd and 3rd. Marucci maintains a 5-run edge heading to the fifth.
Championship update: Marucci breaks it open >>

10/10/2011 1:30:43 PM

After seven games in the past four days Chet Lemon's Juice appears to be getting low on pitching. With three different pitchers already coming into the game Marucci has capitalized with a 4-run 3rd to extend the lead to 6-0. After two quick outs Manwaring and Junger picked up back-to-back singles for the second inning in a row. Then back-to-back walks pushed it to 4-0 for SS Oscar Mercado who plated two more before reliever Dimitry Zafra struck out Hennessey on a nasty back door breaking ball.
Championship update: Marucci on the board >>

10/10/2011 1:07:13 PM

After an uneventful first and a noisy but ultimately unproductive second inning, Marucci finally broke through in the third. Back-to-back singles by Dylan Manwaring and Nick Junger set the table for Marucci's semifinal hero Spencer Trayner. Trayner stroked a hard ground ball through the left side of the infield to open up the scoring. Two batters later Blake Hennessey bounced a sharp grounder that appeared to be on it's way to right field before a great diving stop by 2B Dylan Allen. Allen got Hennessey for the 2nd out at first but Junger scored from 3rd to extend the lead.
Championship update: dimensions come into play >>

10/10/2011 12:42:13 PM

The stadium at Terry Park features an expansive outfield, with 352 feet of real estate down the foul lines and 415 feet to center field. After a quiet first inning the dimensions became a major factor in the second.

Marucci C Adrian Chacon tattooed a ball deep into left center field that landed on the warning track, just out of reach of rangy CF Josh Greene. Then with 2 away and a runner on 3rd Jarret DeHart lifted a towering fly ball to deep right field, a ball which would have left 90% of ballparks in the country, for what in Terry Park was a routine fly ball to end the inning.

In the bottom of the 2nd Justin Ambrosino hammered a fly ball to deep left center for what would generally have been a 2-run Home Run to put the Juice on the board.

But here historic Terry Park we head to the 3rd inning scoreless.

The 2011 WWBA Underclass World Championship is underway in the stadium at Historic Terry Park in Ft. Myers, FL. Chet Lemon's Juice takes on the defending champion Marucci Elite for the title.

Heyer has kept the his sinker down in the zone and located the corners well at 80-82. Vassar has changed speeds very well, using a plus changeup for an out pitch to go with his 85-86 mph fastball.
Chet Lemon's Juice In Finals After 6-0 Win >>

Gm # 296 | 10/10/2011 | 11:30 AM East Cobb Braves vs. Chet Lemon's Juice

10/10/2011 11:49:24 AM

LHP Danny Miller (2013, Ocala Forest HS, FL) and RHP Tyler Danish (2013, Durant HS, FL) combined on a 4-hit shutout and Chet Lemon's Juice struck for 3 quick runs in the first inning, leading to a 6-0 semi-final win over the East Cobb Astros.

Miller mixed a low 80's fastball and big breaking curveball effectively in pitching to corners and keeping the Braves hitters off balance.  Danish, who was already 3-0 in 11.2 innings in the tournament, came in with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th inning to get a key strikeout and easily closed out the game in the 6th and 7th innings.

The Juice's 3 run first inning seemed to put the Braves on their heels for the rest of the game.  A leadoff walk to CF Josh Greene (2013, Forest HS, FL) and an infield single by SS Nicholas Gordon (2013, Olympia HS, FL) set the stage for a 2 run double by 1B Justin Ambrosino (2013, Bloomingdale HS, FL).  Ambrosino later scored on a wild pitch for the 3rd run.

Greene added a 2-run triple in the top of the 7th for some insurance runs.

Danish has established himself as the top pitcher at the event and is now 3-0 with a save in 14 innings, allowing only 3 hits and 1 walk with 15 K's.

The semifinal matchup between the prospect laiden Marucci Elite and FTB Mizuno lived up to the promise that such a matchup offers. The heavyweight slugfest saw six lead changes in the first five innings. 

MIF/RHP Spencer Trayner (2013 Jesuit HS, Tampa, FL) led off the game with a double the opposite way and came in to score on a hard single up the middle by 1B Preston Palmeiro (2013 Heritage HS, Colleyville, TX) to put Marucci up 1-0 in the top of the first.

FTB answered back with a pair in the bottom half after CF Manny Rodriguez (2013 Lake Nona HS, Orlando, FL) led off with an infield single and scored on a fielder's choice. RHP/MIF Kyle Marsh (2014 Spruce Creek HS, Port Orange, FL) drove in the go ahead run with a single to push the tally to 2-1.

Marucci's Henry Hernandez (2013 Gulliver Prep, Miami, FL) answered with a 2-run Home Run to left field to take the lead back 3-2 before the offense quieted down for an inning.

FTB picked up a pair of runs in the bottom of the third on a single to left by C Karl Ellison (2013 Baron Collier HS, Naples, FL) and pulled ahead 4-3 on a 2 out balk.  

The lead would swing back and forth several more times until Marucci C Andrew Dunlap (2013 Westbury Christian HS, Houston, TX) stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and FTB on top 7-5. Dunlap got a fastball that caught too much of the inside half of the plate and launched long Home Run that sailed onto Veronica Shoemaker Blvd. behind left field. 

Trayner would then take the mound and protected the 2-run lead over the final three innings to nail down the Save. Trayner, who played for FTB this summer, mowed down his former teammates with 3 perfect innings, striking out 5 of the 9 hitters he faced. Trayner topped out at 92 mph with his fastball and threw 23 of his 32 pitches for strikes (71.9%).

RHPs Jake Roehn (2013, Sandwich HS, IL) and Griffin Weir (2013, Amherst Steele HS, OH) also brought heat, dialing up their fastballs to 87 and 88 respectively.  Roehn used his 82-85/87 fastball almost predominantly to strike out 4 over the first 2 innings, while Weir showed a good command of an upper-70s slider that complemented his running 83-86/88 fastball well.  At 6-4, 185-pounds, Weir has great size and room for potential future growth, with a loose and easy delivery.

RHP/C Patrick Stephens (2014, University HS, FL):  Threw 3 shutout innings for the Scorpions,striking out 4 hitters while topping out at 87 mph with good feel for his curveball.

LHP Anthony Kay (2013, Ward Melville HS, NY):  Kay is only 5-9 but has a big arm.  He was the losing pitcher for the Storm but struck out 7 hitters in 4 innings.  He has a deceptive delivery that hides the ball well and threw in the 84-88 mph with very good feel for a 76 mph change up and a big, slow 66 mph curveball.

After speedy switch hitting leadoff man Ronnell Coleman (2013 Simeon HS, Burnham, IL) and the impressive CF Corey Ray (2013 Simeon HS, Chicago, IL) got on via back to back walks the duo used their speed to wreak havoc. Each stole 2nd, with an errant throw attempting to catch Ray allowing Coleman to score before Ray came home on a triple by 3B Bryce Only (2013 Hintley HS, Algonquin, IL). Only's deep drive off the RF fence was followed by a sac fly and then a Home Run to the pull side by switch hitting C/1B Mike Papierski (2014 Lemont HS, IL) from the left side to ultimately put the game out of reach. Only has a big strong physical build and an offensive skill set to match his imposing frame.
