Evoshield RHP hits 94 as they advance to F4 >>

6/28/2012 3:19:22 PM
The Evoshield Canes Delmarva rallied with a 6-run 6th inning to inch by The Georgia Roadrunners Blue 15u, 9-7 to advance to the Final 4 to face the 643 DP Cougars tomorrow morning.

The Canes bats were led by their 4-hole hitter Jeff Harding, Jr. (2014, Cambridge-South Dorchester HS, MD) who pulled double duty at the dish and on the rubber in accumulating 1 hit, scoring a run, and droving in 2 RBIs. He demonstrated some good bat speed, a sound hitting approach, and some gap to gap pop as one of 8 Canes' batters to record a hit. After a solid effort at the plate it was his eye-popping effort from the mound that would impress even the Roadrunner's batters. Harding, Jr. entered the game and grabbed the save in the top of the 7th while delivering an unbelievable 88-91 consistent FB that set the Juggs ablaze with a 94 mph peak speed.

On the mound for the Canes it was a team effort as 4 hard throwin hurlers, RHP Chris Convers (2014, Poolesville HS, MD), RHP Chandler Redmond (2015, Georgetown Prep, MD), RHP Kaleb Bowman (2015, Woodgrove HS, VA), and RHP Jeff Harding, Jr. (2014, Cambridge-South Dorchester HS, MD) combined to give up 6 ER and 9 hits.  The trio minus Harding would deliver some smoke to the tune of a 75-79 FB hitting 82, a 74-79 FB peaking at 81, and a 79-80 FB hitting 80 respectively. 

Meanwhile the Roadrunners spoiled an outstanding performance at the dish by LSU commit SS Grayson Byrd (2014, Kings Ridge Christian HS, GA) who lit it up in tallying 8 total bases in 3 hits on the day.  Byrd would exhibit a confident approach and some gap to gap pop in racking up 2 doubles and 1 triple to go along with his 2 runs scored and 1 RBI.  

The Roadrunners were also led by a dynamite duo of their own in LHP Addison Albright (2015, West Forsyth HS, GA) and RHP Tarez Miller (2015, Kings Ridge Christian HS, GA) who delivered some velo themselves.  Albright's line would finish at 2 ER given up and 7 hits surrendered in 5 innings of work.  He used a varying arsenal that included a 74-76 FB hitting 81, a 63-67 CB, and a nice 64-68 CH.  Milller would close the game to the tune of 0 ER allowed and a mere 1 hit ceded in 1 inning on the rubber. He'd also work the Juggs in posting a 80-83 sinking FB reaching 84.

Meanwhile at the plate for the Arsenal was OF Ryan Shinn (2015, Northern Burlington, NJ) who did the dirty work at the dish in compiling 2 hits, scoring 2 runs, and driving in 2 RBIs. He'd also demonstrate a fluid stroke, good bat speed, and a sound approach in belting one of his team's 3 doubles.

Elmore would go above and beyond to earn himself 2 doubles and drive in the team's lone run on the afternoon.

It was RHP Jackson Parthasarathy (2015, Lake Travis HS, TX) who brought the "much needed" heat to the Hotlanta area in helping him earn the 7-inning complete game victory giving up just 1 ER and 5 hits along the way. He utilized his long limbs and showed projectable stuff when hurling his 78-81 FB heating at 82, a good 68-71 CB, and a nice 71-75 CH.

It started on the rubber for the Astros as starting RHP Rankin Woley (2016, Westminister HS, GA) kept the Banditos scoreless through 4 with a line of 0 ER allowed while ceding 4 hits. Woley shut 'em down primarily tossing his 77-80 FB topping at 81 and a 67-79 12/6 CB that flashed potential.

Team Tennessee baseball sprinted out to a 12-1 lead after 3 and kept their foot on the pedal to run away from the Dallas Patriots 15u FTW-Ramirez, 20-7, to earn their 6th win of the tourney.

Team Tennessee was led by OF Malik Stephens (2015, Science Hill HS, TN) and the tourney debut of Shane Mosiello.  Stephens was Mr. Versatile in continuing his tear through the tourney in getting himself on base and scoring in all 4 of his plate appearances while collecting an additional 2 hits and driving in 3 RBIs. He'd demonstrate a fluid stroke while hitting to all fields in racking up one of his team's 4 doubles and raising his 7-game line to .500/.640/.667. In his first game for Tennessee, Mosiello had himself a field day at the dish collecting a team-high 3 hits while touching home twice and driving in 2 RBIs.  The aforementioned duo led a charge that included 5 Tennessee players accumulating multi-hit games with OF Von Watson (2015, Briarcrest HS, MS) raking in a team high 4 RBIs. Watson would also close the game giving up 0 ER in 1 inning of work. 

For the Patriots it was 1B Christian Scherff (2015, Colleyville Heritage HS, TX) who carried the load earning 2 hits on the warm June morning, including a triple, and driving in 2 of the team's 5 RBIs.  

Toeing the rubber for the Pats was starting RHP Joshua Hill (2015, Westlake Academy, TX) who caught some bad luck in his brief 2 innings surrendering 6 runs (just 1 ER) and 4 hits.  On the bump he utilized his athleticism and a strong frame to hurl a 72-75 FB touching 77.

Cody Creed (2015, Mexico, MO) and Jacob Wilson (2015, Belleville West, IL) combined for 2 hits and scored both of the Prospects' runs in today's game, but it wasn't enough to give their team the W.  Alec Willard (2015, Fort Zumwalt North, MO) also had a solid day for the Prospects, going 2-3 with 2 doubles and bringing in 2 RBI's.  Willard showed good bat speed and a live bat with the ability to drive the ball with regular contact.

Dalton Newman (2015, Stratford Academy, GA) also had a strong day for Team Elite, going 1-2 and scoring 2 of their 4 runs while also being walked once.  Newman had a strong presence at the plate, showing good plate coverage and good bat speed to help him get on base and score runs for Team Elite.

The Charlotte Hurricanes scored 7 runs in the top of the fifth inning to put away ABA Baseball 9-0.  The big blow in the inning came from a bases loaded triple by 2015 Will Reid (Rock Hill, SC, Rock Hill).  Reid, 6'3'' 185 lbs, had a single earlier in the game, and drove the ball well.  2015 Alden McKellar (Matthews, SC, Sun Valley) had a pair of hits, including a double, and drove in a run.  McKeller does a nice job of getting on base and providing a spark from the leadoff spot. 

2015 Marcus Chan (Charlotte, NC, Carmel) pitched two scoreless innings for the Hurricanes.  Chan relies mainly on a 73-75mph fastball and struck out three batters.  The right-hander did a good job of throwing strikes and attacking the hitters.

6/27/2012 9:15:06 AM
The Flood City 15u National come up "big" in the bottom of the 7th in plating a run to tie up the Houston Banditos North 1-1.

It was battle on the mound between RHP James Kuykendall (2015, Klein Collins HS, TX) of the Banditos and Flood City's RHP Trent Ream (2015, Indiana HS, PA) who duked it out all day. Kuykendall held his own giving up 8 hits but only allowing 1 ER in a 7-inning complete game.  Despite surrendering 8 hits he still got it done in fanning 10 with a nice blend of his 72-77 FB heating at 79 and a 62-67 CB. Ream had a solid outing on the rubber conceding just 3 hits and more importantly 0 ER in 6 innings of duty.  He'd utilize his 71-78 FB/59-68 CB arsenal all morning to keep the Banditos hitters guessing.

Kuykendall pulled double duty on the mound and at the dish for Houston in accumulating his team's only multi-hit game on the day to the tune of 2 hits, including a double, while driving his team's lone run out of the 11-hole.

The Bronx Bombers used a productive 5-run 2nd inning to propel them to a 7-5 win over the NJ Twins.

Leading the charge for the Bombers was OF Christian Castillo (2014, Garfield HS, NJ) who got the most out of his small frame to post a hit, a run scored, and a team-high 2 RBIs. Also flashing the wood and working the basepaths was OF/1B Cesar Alvarez (2016, NY) who filled up the box score to the tune of 1 hit in the form of a triple, touched home to score a run, brought home 1 RBI, and demonstrated some patience with 1 walk.

Starting RHP Jesus Dejesus (2014, NY) struggled at times but flashed some potential with a diverse supply of pitches that included an armside run FB hovering around 76-78 FB hitting 80, a 63-69 CB, and a 67-71 CH.

For the Twins it was a team effort at the dish with 8 players earning 8 hits on the day.  It was SS Erik Rano who stood out among the crowd raking in a team high 2 RBIs out of the 6-spot. LHP John Wilson (2016, North Hunterdon, NJ) did a solid job in relief allowing 0 ER and 1 hit in 2.2 innings of duty utilizing his 74-75 FB hitting 75 and his seldom used 61 CB.

Triple Threat strike first but end in 2-2 standoff >>

Gm # 432 | 6/26/2012 | 7:00 PM First Strike 15U vs. Triple Threat Bearcats
6/26/2012 8:22:45 PM
The Triple Threat Bearcats strike first but to no avail as First Strike 15u rallies in 2-2 result.

The Triple Threat for the Bearcats was led by SS Jonathan Evangelist (2014, Arch Bishop Carroll HS, PA) who produced 2 hits including an XBH in the form of a double. Threat numero dos Matthew Kellar (2014, Perkiomen Valley HS, PA) also flashed the wood and the arm in accumulating 2 hits while surrendering just 1 hit and 0 ER in 1.1 innings of work on the mound.  He'd get it done on the rubber with a 79-80 armside run FB peaking at 81 and a rarely used 70-72  CB that flashed potential.

The Triple Threat starter was RHP Clay Koniencki (2015, Malvern Preparatory, PA) who changed speeds and attacked hitters effectively to the tune of 1 ER given up and 3 hits conceded in 5.2 innings on the day.  He'd also display sound mechanic in striking out 7 while exhibiting a nice blend of his 76-79 armside run FB and 66-68 CB which also flashed potential. 

First Strike was led by its crafty lefty LHP Caleb Moore (2015, Buford HS, GA) who picked up the no decision after giving up 2 ER and 3 hits in 4.2 innings on the rubber.  He kept hitters off balance and utilized a balanced delivery with a sweet mix of a 71-74 FB touching 75, a 64-67 CB, and a 64-68 CH.

First Strike closer RHP Griffin Jolliff (2016, Buford HS, GA) finished strong allowing 0 ER and just 4 hits in 2.1 innings of duty. He'd represent the team name well with 7 of the 11 batters he faced looking at first pitch strikes.  He accomplished this with a bulldog mentality on the bump and changed speeds effectively with his 79-81 riding FB and his 65-68 CB.

The Grey sting the Scorpions in victory >>

6/26/2012 8:02:24 PM
Team Elite 15u Grey survived a scare in the bottom of the 7th as the Scorpions Baseball Club 15u held the tying run at the plate but dodged a bullet in their 6-4 win.

The Grey were led by Nolan Wallace (2015, GA) and 1B Ramon Rivera (2015, Bethlehem Christian HS, GA) who both amassed 2 hits on the day and grabbed a little more on the side.  Wallace displayed a short, compact swing and a sound hitting approach at the dish and got it done on the bases in scoring a run. Rivera demonstrated his gap to gap pop in bringing around 1 RBI.

On the bump for the Grey was RHP Clay Forbes (2015, Milton HS, GA) who was money as a middle reliever giving up 0 ER while conceding 2 hits in 4 innings of duty.  He did an excellent job of finding the strike zone as he fanned 4 and threw 75% of his pitches for strikes.

The Scorpions didn't quite have enough to keep up but the mean Greene hitting machine, SS Brendan Greene (2014, Winchester HS, MA), heard the crack of the bat all day going 4-for-4 from the box out of the leadoff spot.  He maintained a sound hitting approach and exhibited linedrive contact in belting a triple while touching home twice and driving in 2 RBIs.  Not far behind, literally, out of the 3-hole for the Scorpions was OF Chris Sharpe (2014, Burlington HS, MA) who did his best in racking up 2 hits and bringing in 2 RBIs while showing some gap to gap pop.

Bazin would add 2 runs scored and 1 RBI while Meyer touched home for a run scored of his own.

Meyer also showed his stuff on the mound in an extended role as closer giving up 2 hits and just 1 ER in 6 innings of duty.  He'd demonstrate sound mechanics and loose/short arm action with his 74-76 FB heating at 77, 65-66 CB, and 65-68 SL and also threw an outstanding 55 of 72 (76%) pitches for strikes.

On the Megastars side of things it was starting RHP Ryan Sapp (2014, East Meck HS, NC) flashing some potential on the mound.  He'd give up 6 hits on the night but hold the Diablos to 1 ER in 4 innings on the rubber. He got the job done with his 77-81 FB touching 83 and his 64-69 CB.

Swinging the wood for the Megastars was IF Joey Hill (2015, Hopewell HS, NC) who collected 2 hits including an XBH in the form of a double and also scored a run.  He exhibited a fluid stroke at the dish as the ball erupted off the wood.
