The second seeded SJB Steel team is considered on of the favories in the 14u playoffs due their impressive team totals offensively. Despite only 1 extra base hit by the entire team all session, SJB Steel has been able to put up a league high in runs scored (104). Alex Gioia leads SJB Steel in RBI's (40) while Drew Ruehlicke (30) and Zachary Manorowitz (29) sit closely behind. SJB Steel appears to show good balance throughout thier lineup and should provide a challenge to BJES White in round 1.
Third seeded BJES Whites power threat is supplied by Brandon Sewers (2020 SS, Orland Park, IL). Brandon has collected a team high 15 extra base hits in 72 at-bats during session 1. Jacob Drenthe has driven in the most runs (17) for BJES White, but Jimmy Rybarczyk (2020 OF, Orland Park, IL) does not sit far behind with 11 RBI's of his own. The key for BJES White will be to keep pace with the high scoring SJB Steel team in the early innings.
The winner of game 1 and game 2 will meet this Sunday morning for the 14u national Championship crown at 11:45am CST. Follow the PGNIL on twitter @perfectgame_NIL for up to date game highlights and scores.
