EMERSON, Ga. – South Dekalb Tribe-Gold jumped out to an early lead and continued to pile on en route to a 11-5 victory over the Gainesville Braves and secured the championship of the 2017 PG 11u Invitational Major Division. The game had a bit of back and forth, but South Dekalb was able to pull away toward the end of the game and stave off the Braves.

Jordin Johnson led the offense from the leadoff position and was absolutely dynamic in the championship final. Johnson went a perfect 4-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored, and three stolen bases on the day. He wasn't just getting on base, but he was putting himself in scoring position almost immediately upon arriving at first base. Three of Johnson's hits were singles while the other hit was an inside-the-park-HR.

The starting pitcher gave up three runs and Tai Peete came into the game in a relief role. Peete was nothing short of fantastic in relief as he tossed 3.2 innings of shutout baseball while allowing only three hits and no runs.

After jumping out to an early 4-0 lead, the Braves fought back. They put up five unanswered runs to take back the lead in the middle innings. Following that, South Dekalb put up seven runs to close out the final two innings and secure the 11-5 lead and victory over the Braves.

Jordin Johnson was named MVP of the tournament. In addition to the numbers he put up in the championship game, Johnson batted .800 and stole eight bases with two RBI and nine runs scored. Jeramie Favors was named the MV-Pitcher for South Dekalb and he threw four shutout innings during the tournament while striking out four and only allowing two hits.

EMERSON, Ga. – In a game that featured explosive offenses and a combined total of 32 runs, the Green Hornets outlasted the Acworth Warriors by a score of 21-11 in the championship game of the 2017 PG 11u Invitational Minor Division. Both offenses were clicking on all cylinders as it is not often that an offense puts up eleven runs and loses. 

Jadon Lundt and Jacob Meador both only had one hit in the game, but each of their hits turned out to be an inside-the-park-HR. The offense as a whole drove in twenty-one runs which all came in four innings of scoring. The four separate innings saw the offense put up two, five, five, and nine runs.

The defense worked very effectively for the Hornets as they only committed two errors and recorded all of the outs as the pitching staff did not record a strikeout.

Colin Phillips of the Green Hornets came away with MVP honors after hitting .400 for the tournament and driving in four RBI with seven runs scored. Jacob Lundt was named MV-Pitcher for the event as he threw five innings while only allowing three earned runs.

EMERSON, Ga. – In a back and forth affair that finished a one-run game, the Motor City Hitdogs outlasted the Memphis Tigers by a score of 12-11 in the final game of the 2017 PG Invitational Major Division. It was a tale of two halves of the game as the Hitdogs fought off a tremendous comeback attempt by the Tigers to hold on to the lead.

The Hitdogs hit three home runs during the game which came off the bats of Blake Grimmer, Sebastian Jaimes, and Ryan McKay. Grimmer led the offense as a whole as he collected two hits, including the home run, and knocked in four runs on the game. 

The Hitdogs jumped out to a big 9-5 lead after the third inning of the game after putting up eight runs in the bottom of the third inning. The Tigers would fight back by scoring runs in each of the next three innings and, in the top of the sixth, the Tigers had the game-tying run on second base with two outs. The Hitdogs bore down and got a ground out to secure the championship victory. 

Blake Grimmer of the Hitdogs came home with MVP honors. Grimmer had an absurd four home runs during the event which included a .600 batting average and fourteen RBI. Owen Geiger for the Tigers won the MV-Pitcher award and he threw 5.2 innings while only allowing two earned runs and striking out three batters.

EMERSON, Ga. – In yet another one-run game, Powermill Baseball defeated the Paulding Patriots 2-1 in an extra inning thriller that saw Powermill take the championship game in the final inning. A late inside-the-park-HR allowed Powermill to score a clutch run and win the 2017 PG 12u Invitational Minor Division.

Both starting pitchers threw very well and only allowed one run apiece. The defenses were playing excellently as well, there were only a combined two errors in the game. Kieran Hemenway came through in the top of the seventh inning with a big time inside-the-park-HR. 

Kieran Hemenway came away with MVP honors for Powermill Baseball. He batted .429 for the tournament with two RBI and six runs scored which included his home run in the championship game. Bradley Hurst of the Paulding Patriots won the MV-Pitcher award as he tossed six innings while only allowing one earned run.

Every successful team has talent, but the teams that make great summer ball runs often have something more. For Furia Prospects 2030, that difference has been a consistent commitment to playing for one another. The Texas-based team earned a 4-0 victory over East Cobb Astros 14U to secure their spot in the semifinals, combining dominant pitching with timely offense and another complete team performance. Christian Choe set the tone on the mound, allowing just two hits while striking out three over 4.2 innings before Blaine Jackson closed out the final four outs to preserve the shutout. At the plate, Brody Peterson paced the offense with a 2-for-3 performance and two RBI, while Mark De Leon and Jancarlos Nunez each drove in a run. Through these tournament games, Peterson has emerged as one of the team's most consistent hitters, batting .750 while continuing to deliver in key moments. Yet...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 100-299 | 200-299 | 300-399 | 400-500 1. Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted   Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 An extended look at ‘27 RHP Cole Cheatham… 5 IP, 9 K, 0 BB, 3 ER. #WWBA @PG_OhioValley #WVU commit https://t.co/6tfthTsRsW pic.twitter.com/RHfFa3rWps — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 26, 2026 West Virginia commit Cole Cheatham (2027, Liberty, Ind.) came out firing bullets early in the outing and would finish up going five strong innings, allowing three runs and striking out nine. The fastball comes out of the hand easy and got up to 97 mph, working in the mid-90s throughout. He pairs it with a firm changeup at 89-90 with some fading depth to the arm side and also has good feel for a mid-80s slider with quality shape and missed bats with it deep in counts. It’s a power arm here with immense upside and pounded the zone at a 64% clip. A lot of boxes Cheatham checks off as a high school arm and should be a name we hear a...

2026 MLB Draft Reports: 200-299 | 300-399 | 400-500 100. Lucas Nawrocki, LHP/1B, Aledo HS L-L, 5-11/197, Aledo, TX College Commitment: LSU Lucas Nawrocki put together a monster year on both sides of the ball, although the profile may be suited better for the mound in pro ball. Nawrocki features a stocky frame that works down the mound into a low-slot release. The fastball sits in the mid-90’s with carry to the top of the zone. It can reach spin rates near 2700 rpm. The left-hander can spin a slider exceptionally well. The pitch sits in the mid-80’s with big sweeping action and spin rates over 3000 rpm. A firm upper-80's changeup rounds out the pitch mix. At the plate, Nawrocki can provide some thump from the left side of the plate.  For more on Nawrocki, read his high school notebook here.   101.

Hudson Devaughan, RHP, Mooresville HS R-R, 6-4/195, Mooresville, IN College Commitment: Alabama Hudson Devaughan features a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 195-pounds. The fastball works up to 96 mph with more to come. It is thrown on a downhill plane. A sharp curveball pairs well off of it and can miss bats. A cutter and changeup round out the pitch mix, but still need to be refined.  201. Cole Stokes, RHP, Florida State R-R, 6-6/230, Redondo Beach, CA Previously Drafted: Never Drafted Cole Stokes is an imposing 6-foot-6 arm with loud stuff too. The fastball works in the upper-90’s with sink. It is paired with a sweeper that can miss bats at a solid clip. Significant command issues will need to be addressed in order for the potential plus stuff to play more consistently.  For more on Stokes, read his college report...

The big-bodied southpaw got the ball in a short relief outing and continues to show why he’s ranked as the #1 pitcher in the class. The fastball has explosive life out of the hand and comes out easy, working in the 93-95 range, up to 96 mph once. He rounds out the mix with a firm slider in the mid-80s along with a changeup in the same velo range with arm-side fading action. The Mississippi State commit is a proven strike thrower with premium stuff and is one of the highest follows of the summer for professional scouts. Grant Sperandio (2027, Houston, Tx.) was...

Gulf Coast Edge has continued to build momentum in championship play this week, advancing behind a combination of timely offense, strong pitching, and contributions throughout the lineup.

Nims has helped lead the charge offensively as Gulf Coast Edge has advanced through the bracket.

With a postseason run for the ages, the Oklahoma Sooners (43-23) took home the National Championship and naturally finish the 2026 season as our No. 1 team in the land.  It is the third national title for the Sooners, playing in their 12th CWS and making their fourth championship series appearance.  They add to previous national titles won in 1951 and 1994 and did it by taking the most difficult path of any team in this year’s tournament.  In the NCAA Tournament, Oklahoma took down national seeds, No. 2 Georgia Tech twice, No. 3 Georgia twice, No. 5 UNC twice, No. 7 Alabama and No. 15 Kansas twice.  This was the second time that head coach Skip Johnson has led the Sooners to the CWS Championship Series since 2022 and the first time he has taken home the crown.  The North Carolina Tarheels (54-14) was one win away from their first national title and finish...
