Team Elite out-duels Team Louisiana for Upperclass crown

EMERSON, Ga. – Team Elite 17u Prime defeated Team Louisiana in the PG Elite Underclass Championship game by a score of 3-2.

Team Louisiana got out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning as the tournament’s MVP, Chase Dejean, parked a ball over the left field fience for a home run. The two-run shot drove in Vantrell Reed who walked prior to Dejean’s at-bat.

Team Elite 17u Prime would go quietly in the bottom of the first, but they would answer back in the second inning with three runs of their own. Led off by an Elijah Hilton walk and Joseph Mize single, Brock Marsho would drive them in with a two-run double to left field. Walker Fryer would come up with the eventual game-winning hit for Team Elite with a single to right field that drove in Marsho.

Team Elite and Team Louisiana would both go scoreless the remainder of the game thanks to outstanding pitching out of each team’s bullpen. For Team Louisiana, Austin Acree tossed two hitless innings of relief with a strikeout. Riley Bishop worked two scoreless innings for Team Elite in relief. Team Elite’s Bradley Blalock, who also won the tournament’s MV-Pitcher, was outstanding in relief as well. The Lawrenceville, Georgia native worked two perfect innings with two strikeouts to earn a save and close out the championship win.

Team Elite’s head coach talked after the game about winning the PG Elite Underclass Championship.

“It feels really good,” Team Elite’s Head Coach said after the game. “We have a good group of guys with the tournament going four days, it just shows the depth of our pitchers and hitters. We played all-around good baseball building up for Fort Myers and all of the quality events that PG puts on.”

Dejean batted 6-for-13 (.462) with a double, a triple, seven RBI, and a 94 mph home run in the championship game that traveled 354 feet to earn MVP honors.

Blalock, who was lights out on the mound in each of his outings, including closing out the championship game, had a remarkable stat line for the tournament of five innings, one hit, 11 strikeouts, zero walks and zero runs to garner the MV-Pitcher award.

East Cobb Astros edge Team Elite for Upperclass title

EMERSON, Ga. – The East Cobb Astros defeated Team Elite 18u Prime in the Upperclass age group of the PG Elite Championship on Sunday night by a score of 2-1.

With just 11 hits combined between the two teams, pitching was the story of the matchup. Cooper Stinson started for the Astros and earned the win tossing four innings allowing four hits, striking out six while allowing just one run. The opposing pitcher to Stinson was Team Elite’s Jeff Jenkins. Jenkins took a tough loss while tossing four innings and allowing two runs and striking out two.

The scoring for both teams happened early as each team pushed a run across the plate in their respective halves of the first inning. In the top half, Team Elite got their run as Noah Ledford drove in Isaiah Byars on an RBI groundout after Byars singled and Parker Meadows doubled.

East Cobb would answer right back in the bottom of the frame as Pierce Gallo scored on Bryar Hawkins’ sacrifice fly. The score would remain the same until the bottom of the fourth inning.

Hawkins was at it again as he led off the inning with a single to right field. He would later score the winning run as Taj Bradley drove him in on an RBI single. The score would remain the same as Hawkins came in to pitch the final three innings of scoreless one hit ball.

Gallo was named the MVP of the PG Elite Upperclass Championship for the champion East Cobb Astros. Gallo went 6-for-14 (.429) with two doubles, four RBI and three stolen bases.

The Most Valuable Pitcher of the event was Dawson Sweatt of Team Elite 18u Prime. The Auburn commit tossed four scoreless innings in his start on the mound, striking out six and allowing just one hit.



Triton Rays ride big arms to Freshman championship

EMERSON, Ga – The Triton Rays defeated Tri State Arsenal 2021 in the PG Elite Freshman Championship by a score of 1-0.

Both pitching staffs were on display in this game as Parker Hughes and Webb Veronese combined for a complete game shutout for Triton and Drake Donahoe and Cason Henry combined for a complete one unearned game for Tri State.

For the winning Triton Rays, they snuck their lone run on the scoreboard as Giovanni Divine’s double in the bottom of the third inning put Nick Young in scoring position at third base and would later score on a passed ball for the game’s only run.

Combining for just five total hits between the two teams, Veronese and Donahoe both appeared on the mound in the game and neither allowed a hit. They were both stellar, especially Veronese, who was perfect in his 2 1/3 innings with zeros across the stat line and five strikeouts.

The MVP of the tournament was Owen Flynn of Tri State Arsenal. In the tournament, Flynn batted 5-for-14 (.357) with a double, three triples and six RBI.

The MV-Pitcher of the PG Elite Freshman Championship was Parker Hughes of the Triton Rays. Hughes earned his award in the championship game where he tossed 4 2/3 innings with six strikeouts and only three hits allowed.

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...
