2014 Perfect Game Tournament Schedule


 CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – When the EvoShield Canes recorded the final out in their 4-3 championship game victory over the Florida Burn at the PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., on Oct. 28, it brought the 2013 Perfect Game tournament schedule to a dramatic conclusion.

Forty-one championship events were contested over the last 10 months, starting with the three Perfect Game MLK Championships held Jan. 18-21 at the Camelback Ranch Complex in Glendale, Ariz., and concluding with the blockbuster PG WWBA World Championship held Oct. 24-28 at the Roger Dean Sports Complex in Jupiter.

Thousands of players on thousands of teams competed for the tournament titles, a few of which were decided by the weather. Persistent rain in north-central Georgia and Southwest Florida created havoc and scheduling nightmares at PG WWBA National Championship and PG BCS Finals events throughout June and July, and consequently co-champions were named at several events. Other podium finishes (top-three) were determined by playoff seedings.

Through it all, five organizations rose to the top when it came to stepping up on the podium. None was more prolific than the Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based Orlando Scorpions program which won four PG tournament championships – including PG national championships at the PG WWBA 17u National Championship, 16u Perfect Game World Series and PG WWBA Underclass World Championship – recorded two runner-up showings and one third-place finish. The Scorpions ’15 Prime and Scorpions ’16 Purple finished one-two at the PG WWBA Underclass World Championship.

The Fredericksburg, Va.-based EvoShield Canes matched the Scorpions with three PG national championships by earning rings in three of PG’s most prestigious tournaments: the PG WWBA World Championship, the 17u Perfect Game World Series and the PG WWBA 16u National Championship. The EvoShield Canes 16u and EvoShield Canes North 16u finished one-two at the PG WWBA 16u National.

The Houston (Texas) Banditos grabbed six top-three finishes, including a championship at the PG WWBA South Qualifier. The Banditos other podium finishes all came in younger age groups, including PG national championships at the 14u PG World Series and the 13u PG BCS Finals, results that certainly bode well for the program’s future.

The Florida Burn, based in Sarasota, Fla., recorded five top-threes, including a title at the 18u PG WWBA East Memorial Day Classic, a runner-up finish at the PG WWBA World Championship and a third-place showing at the 17u PG World Series. Many of the most prominent Burn players attend Venice (Fla.) Senior High School and were on the team that won the inaugural Perfect Game High School Showdown played in Fort Myers, Fla., in early April.

The Dulin Dodgers from Cordova, Tenn., did a nice job of spreading the wealth by recording four podium finishes in four different age groups. The Dodgers won PG national championships at the PG WWBA 18u National Championship and the PG WWBA 15u National Championship, and finished third at both the PG WWBA 17u and 14u National Championships.

16u Elite Scout Notes: Days 1-2  ‘28 AJ Bonnette (TX) with 7 Ks thru 4 IP thus far, living 89-91 w/ heavy traits. Filling up all four quads & attacking hitters early in counts. Mixing a slurvy breaker & turning the CHG over well. @PG_Uncommitted #NatElite @Texas_PG pic.twitter.com/oz2XXoKHvt — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) June 30, 2026 Aj Bonnette (2028, Keller, Texas) showed out on both sides of the ball at the National Elite Championship, but really stood out on the mound Tuesday. He toed the rubber in round two of the playoffs, proceeding to toss six innings with eight punchouts and zero earned runs allowed. The 6-foot southpaw filled up all four quadrants of the strike zone, attacking hitters early and often with his fastball. The heater lived in the 88-91 mph range with heavy traits, often setting up his slurvy breaking ball. Bonnette showed good feel...

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

JK Select Hawaii capped off an impressive tournament run by defeating GBG Vegas 14u Red14-4 in the championship game on Sunday at Goodyear Ballpark, claiming the 14u West World Series title. From the opening pitch, JK Select controlled the pace of the game. The offense jumped out early, scoring 6 runs in the 1st inning after timely hits from MVP Sean Shindo and Kade Manarpaac. The early lead gave the pitching staff confidence as they worked efficiently through the opposing lineup. “I've worked hard to get better at my game for the past few months; it means a lot that I did well and performed in a tournament like this” said Shindo. Starting pitcher Maddox Prones turned in a strong performance, allowing 3 runs while striking out 5 batters over 3 innings.

"Wow" Swings Catch Eyes at 16u Elite

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense. Just one batter later, Aaron Frink stepped into the box and sent another ball over the fence, delivering back-to-back home runs that quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the tournament’s opening days. Parents gathered along the nets, players from previous games stopped to watch, and college scouts turned their attention toward the action as the two towering swings energized the crowd and brought new life to the game. Although Wow Factor Nation ultimately lost 5-3 after a hard-fought performance, the back-to-back home runs served as a reminder of the...

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings. NLB American starter Hayden Graham kept the Flames in check early, allowing just one hit while striking out one over 2.0 innings. The right-hander...
