Summer Kicks Off at SE Memorial Day

14u Southeast Memorial Day Classic

In what was the best possible way to kick off the summer season at the East Cobb Complex, the 14u bracket at the Southeast Memorial Day Classic treated us to a one-run championship game, ultimately being claimed by Team Elite 14u National over 643 DP Cougars 14u, 4-3.



The two talented squads were tied headed to the seventh and deciding inning, when Team Elite pushed two runs across to make the score 4-2.

Colton Guillot walked to get the rally started, and was followed by a Brock Bradley single. Mason Diamond walked to load the bases, and Alex Gonzalez was the man with the big knock, singling home Guillot and Bradley.

Jack Ryan was terrific on the mound for Team Elite, tossing 5 1/3 innings and striking out seven while allowing two earned runs. Derek Guzman closed things out on the mound for Team Elite, throwing the final 1 2/3 innings.

Guzman was named the MVP of the 14u bracket, as he hit .500 with six runs scored and an additional six driven in. Dawson Vaughn was given MV-Pitcher honors for Team Elite, as he threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings across two outings, striking out 10.

15u Southeast Memorial Day Classic

East Cobb Astros 15u flexed its muscle in the championship game of the 15u division, outhitting 5 Star West 15u Langley 12-1 in the finale and winning by a final score of 11-0.

The score remained much closer than the final for much of the game, as East Cobb broke through with five runs in the top of the seventh inning to inflate its lead.

The outcome was rarely in question, though, with Nolan Bernard on the bump for East Cobb. Bernard tossed all seven innings, giving up just one hit and one walk while collecting eight strikeouts. Bernard was given MV-Pitcher honors for his effort in the title game.

The offense for East Cobb was led in the championship game by Masa Chilcutt, Maddox Monsour, and Mac Bradley, who all had two hits, as well as Caden Marcos and Miles Shore, who both added three RBI.

5 Star's Dalton Redmond was named MVP of the tournament as he hit .529 with six runs scored and 10 RBI.

16u Southeast Memorial Day Classic

The No. 1 seeded Titans/Texas Rangers Scout Team went wire-to-wire in the 16u bracket, taking home a title with a 6-4 win over 5 Star Atlanta 16u King on Monday at the Southeast Memorial Day Classic.

The top of the Titans/Texas Rangers Scout Team order was as pesky as it gets in the championship game. The first five players in the order - Carter Gilliam, Sam Peterson, Jaxon Pate, Caleb Brown, and Brooks McKenna all recorded a hit, while four of the five scored a run, and four also drove in at least one run.

Isaiah Haygood started on the mound for the squad, throwing one inning before handing the ball over to Braxton Wade, who settled things down for the Titans/Texas Rangers Scout Team, managing the next five innings and giving up just one unearned run.

Pate took home MVP honors, as the 2024 prospect hit .600 for the tournament, with six runs scored and eight RBI. Wade was named the MV-Pitcher for his work in the championship game.

17u Southeast Memorial Day Classic

5 Star National 17u Black came roaring back against East Cobb Astros 16u in the championship game of the 17u bracket, scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to claim a come-from-behind title, 6-5.

5 Star held a 2-0 lead through four innings, scratching a run across in both the third and fourth innings. But a five-run fifth for East Cobb gave the Astros a 5-2 lead heading into the late innings.

A walk from Riley Jackson and hit-by-pitch from Trenton Lyons put two runners on base for 5 Star in the bottom of the sixth, while a fielder's choice later from Gabriel Simmons scored the team's first run of the inning to bring the score to 5-3. Reid Harvey doubled to score Lyons, and was followed by Connor Crisp, who switched places with Harvey on a double of his own, scoring two more and giving the lead back to 5 Star.

Owen Robinson took it from there on the mound, closing things out for the championship.

Isaiah Drake was named MVP for East Cobb, hitting .545 over the weekend with 12 hits, nine runs scored, seven RBI, and six stolen bags.

Jake Lankie, a Georgia commit and Perfect Game Select Festival alum, was given MV-Pitcher honors for 5 Star. Lankie tossed five hitless innings while striking out seven and not allowing a walk.

18u Southeast Memorial Day Classic

A four-run sixth inning was all the offense 643 DP Cougars 17u Pralgo needed in the championship game of the 18u bracket, taking home the hardware over East Cobb Astros 18u Navy by a 4-0 final score.

Nate Levine, Isaac Griffin, and Zachary Lyles combined for the shutout on the mound for 643. Griffin handled the bulk of the work sandwiched between the Levine and Lyles appearances, throwing 4 1/3 innings and giving up just three hits in that time.

Three straight hits from Bradley Ihm, Kyle Chatham, and Caden Rogers started that crucial sixth inning for 643. Ihm and Chatham singled, and Rogers' double brought them both home to break the scoreless tie. Dawson Stevens added an RBI single after a pitching change, and Jack Fabris scored Stevens on a double of his own.

Andrew Bray was the MVP of the tournament for East Cobb, hitting safely in two-thirds of his at-bats, while scoring and driving in three runs apiece.

643's Jackson Greer was given the MV-Pitcher nod for his five-inning, two-hit performance against 5 Star West 18u Grant, in which he struck out seven and didn't allow a walk.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

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.

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...
