18u East Labor Day Classic

Four runs in the bottom of the first inning were all Fury 2022 needed in the championship game of the East Labor Day Classic, holding off Midland Swarm Southeast Blue by a score of 4-2.
 
A leadoff single from Michael McAloose was followed by a subsequent Matthew Morales single, four walks followed those two base knocks, and Preston Heben singled through the left side to drive in the fourth run of the inning.
 
Morales was named the MVP of the event, as he hit .615 over 13 at-bats, adding five walks, six runs, two driven in, and a stolen base.
 
Zachary Root, also playing for Fury 2022, was the MV-Pitcher. The uncommitted 2022, currently ranked as the No. 23 left-handed pitcher in the class, tossed six scoreless innings across two appearances, striking out 14 in that time and allowing just one hit.
 


17u East Labor Day Classic

Ostingers Baseball Academy 2023 and Hit Factory Pros 2023 were all knotted up at 2-2 through three innings of the championship game in the Underclass portion of the East Labor Day Classic and decided to leave it there, as the two squads agreed to be crowned as co-champions because of ongoing rain and lightning delays in the area.
 
Hit Factory Pros was held scoreless through the first two frames, but scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to tie the game and earn the co-championship. LaPlace Sallis IV and Anthony Petrillo reached on a hit-by-pitch and walk, respectively, to start the inning, and later came around to score and tie the game on an error to the right side off the bat of Maddox King, who battled during the seven-pitch at-bat.
 
Ostingers broke through first in the top of the first inning. A single from Jayden Vazquez started it off, and he later came around to score on an RBI single from Bryan Rivera.
 
Aidan Walsh singled in the top of the third for Ostingers, and was driven in by Arjun Nimmala, who doubled on a line to right field.

Co-MVPs were crowned in the 17u division. Hit Factory's Grant Jordan hit .667 in 12 at-bats, driving in six runs. Ostingers' Nimmala was also named MVP, as he hit .571, including a home run, on his way to scoring seven runs and driving in five.

Hit Factory's Daniel Lazaro was named MV-Pitcher. Over two appearances, including a seven-inning start, Lazaro didn't allow a single earned run, struck out 10, and only allowed two hits.
 


16u East Labor Day Classic

Pitching ruled the day in the 16u championship game of the East Labor Day Classic, as Florida Aces 2024 Black’s Stephen Joyce tossed all seven innings of the championship against Ostingers Baseball Academy 2024, giving up just five hits and one unearned run to lead his team to a 2-1 victory.
 
Ian Jones worked a seven-pitch walk in the third inning to get himself on base for the Aces, stole second base to force the action, and later came around to score on an error to give his team the lead.
 
Consecutive walks to start the bottom of the sixth from Michael Conger and Danny Machado started another scoring opportunity for the Aces, and a single from Gregory Caban brought Conger around to score to push the lead to 2-0 heading into the last frame.
 
Ostingers Baseball Academy did scratch a run across in the top of the seventh, thanks in part to an error in the inning and a few walks. With two outs, the bases loaded, and the score standing at 2-1 in favor of the Aces, Joyce induced a groundout right back to him to secure the win.
 
Machado was named the MVP of the tournament for the Florida Aces. The top-100 prospect in the 2025 class hit .429 for the event, while adding five walks to his statline, as well as three runs, seven RBI, and six stolen bases.
 
Joyce, for his efforts in the title game, was named the MV-Pitcher of the event.



15u East Labor Day Classic

Tyler Greenberg tossed seven scoreless innings for the Florida Warriors in the title game of the 15u East Labor Day Classic, as his squad laid four runs on Loyola Baseball, winning by that 4-0 margin.
 
Greenberg only allowed three hits and one walk over the course of his outing, striking out eight in the process and needing just 78 pitches to get through his start.
 
The scoring got started in the fourth inning for the Warriors, as Alejandro Rosales and Darwin Vargas hit back-to-back singles before Robert Kramer drove in Rosales on a ground ball to short.
 
Two more runs scored in the next inning, thanks to RBI singles from Rowen Plasencia and Greenberg. Plasencia singled again in the sixth inning, and came around to score on a Rosales ground ball to third base, which made the score 4-0 in favor of the Warriors.

Plasencia was the MVP of the tournament, as he hit .300, scored three times, and drove in a pair. Greenberg was given MV-Pitcher honors for his work during the championship game.
 


14u East Labor Day Classic

The 14u championship game at the East Labor Day Classic brought arguably the best game of the tournament, with five lead changes leading to a one-run victory.
 
In the end, it was a two-run sixth inning for SWFL Baseball 2026 that led them to a 5-4 victory over Gulf Coast Monarchs 14u.
 
Gulf Coast Monarchs got out to the first lead of the game, pushing a run across in the bottom of the second inning thanks to a few walks, a single from Beau Collier, and a wild pitch eventually plating Aiden Puente.
 
Two runs in the top of the third for SWFL came from an RBI single from Carter Chalder and RBI double from Nicholas Raber, which scored Chalder.
 
Gulf Coast came right back in the bottom of the frame, however, plating two runs of their own to retake the lead, 3-2. A walk and a single from Joseph Lawson and Thomas Giltner, respectively, started the inning, and RBI single from Andrew Gonzalez tied the game at 3-3, and a passed ball brought in Giltner to grab the lead back.
 
A two-out rally in the top of the fifth inning produced another tie in the title game, as Chalder walked to extend the inning, moved up to second base thanks to a passed ball, and scored on an Alan Overmyer RBI single to right field.
 
Lawson and Gonzalez subsequently singled in the bottom of the fifth inning for Gulf Coast, and Lawson broke yet another tie when he scored on a Puente sacrifice fly. Heading into the sixth inning, it was 4-3 in favor of the Monarchs.
 
The sixth inning proved to be crucial for SWFL, as two runs were plated to take the lead for good. Bryce Goldstein walked to begin the inning, was bunted into scoring position, and came around to score on an Aaron Hurley RBI single. Hurley himself then came around to score the game-winning run on a single from Evan Goeller.

Raber was given MVP honors for the tournament. Across 18 at-bats, he hit .556 with five doubles and drove in nine runs. Gulf Coast's OB Osceola III was named MV-Pitcher for his four-inning, six-strikeout scoreless performance against Team X 14u.

Cape Cod League Notebook: July 24

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Luke Costello | INF | South Carolina | Bourne Braves  Costello brings one of the cleaner offensive operations in the Cape, featuring a simple, direct swing that allows him to consistently get the barrel out front and do damage. He minimizes unnecessary movement, stays on time, and shows the strength to impact the baseball with authority. After a very productive spring hitting .302 with 17 home runs during his sophomore season at Wake Forest, Costello heads to South Carolina as an established middle-of-the-order bat. His combination of present power, offensive consistency, and polished approach should translate well against SEC pitching.     A look at Terry Hayes Jr (@OleMissBSB) lived 92-94 on the FB showed a CT at 88-90, SL at 82-84 and a really good CB at 78-81. @ChathamAnglers So./‘26 elig pic.twitter.com/vbsYWF2IcY — PG College Baseball (@PGCollegeBall)...

Battle For The Midwest Scout Notes

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Gavin Johnson (2029, De Pere, Wisc.) handled the bat pretty well this weekend for his CBT Wolfpack 15u team that made a run into bracket play. Johnson is a left-handed hitting first baseman with a physical 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame, showing good physicality throughout the build. It’s a clean stroke from the left side, with feel to deliver the barrel on time and drive the ball working pull-side. He has a feel to rotate well, loading deep with the hands & turning well through contact to impact the baseball out in front. Johnson tallied four hits on the weekend, including 2 doubles and a triple. He plated 3 runs as well.   Devon Hester (2029, Chicago, Ill.) had a heck of a weekend for Chicago White Sox Ace 2029 Hunt.

Easton Vandyke (’27 RHP, RISE 2027/2028, VA) opened Day 4 by running his fastball up to 84 mph, showing consistent strike-throwing ability throughout the outing. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound right-hander paired the fastball with a low-70s curveball and a 75 mph changeup that he consistently kept at the bottom of the zone.
