He used a good 80-84 fastball combined with a good slider and deceptive changeup to make short work of hitters. This crafty lefty was able to strike out eight Gatorball hitters in the game. 

In the top of the seventh Connor Clayton (2012, Williston, FL) had a big two RBI single giving his team a 3-0 lead.

TGBA blanks Next Level behind Gorst gem >>

Gm # 1 | 6/29/2012 | 9:00 AM Team GA (TGBA 17) vs. Next Level Baseball

6/29/2012 9:37:24 AM

Team GA (TGBA 17) got an outstanding performance from starting RHP Matthew Gorst (2013, Johns Creek, GA) to shutout Next Level Baseball, 8-0, for their first win of the tournament.

Gorst told the Level bats to get on his level after tossing a 6 inning, 1-hit shutout while whiffing 4. He'd work quickly and was around the plate with his FB/CB/CH arsenal.  His velos were hovering around 84-87 heating at 88 for his lively FB, 72-76 for a good 11/5 CB he used as his out pitch, and his 74-78 CH. He'd exhibit the ability to throw strikes by throwing an eye popping 74% of his pitches for strikes.

The TGBA trio of OF Adrian Morris (2013, Wheeler HS, GA), OF Brock Maxwell (2013, Lambert HS, GA), and 1B Jonathan Banks (2013, East Coweta HS, GA) had their bats singing to the tune of a combined 7 of the team's 10 hits while racking up all 3 of the team's XBHs.  Morris got it started from the leadoff spot with 2 hits, 2 runs scored, and 2 RBIs and working the basepaths with 1 SB. Both of his hits ended up falling for doubles. Maxwell repped the 3rd spot in the lineup by exploding for 3 hits while driving home 2 RBI. He'd demonstrate some gap power, good bat speed, and a live bat to earn himself one double on the day as well. Last but not least Banks finished with 2 hits out of the cleanup spot for Team GA.

The pair on the rubber for Next Level threw a solid 4 innings combined while flashing some FB potential.  Starter RHP Jake Walker (2013, Wakulla HS, FL) threw a brief 2 innings but surrendered just 4 hits and 0 ER. Utilizing his balanced delivery and short arm action he'd hurl an 81-84 FB hitting 85, a 70-74 CB, and a nice 71-73 CH.  Middle reliever followed with some heat and a similar lie of 2 innings pitched while allowing 4 hits and 2 ER.  He'd flash a 75-80 FB peaking at 88, and 63-68 CB.
