Good Evening. Here we are in Ft Myers for the BCS 17U Finals.
We are 3-0 with 43 runs scored and 3 runs allowed.
Day One had Josh Scott on the mound against Long Island Lions. He pitched well and finished the game.
Day Two had Jake Meiers on the mound with good enough stuff to get the win. Matt Delay came in for the closing save.
In the second game of the day Steven Arvanitis was throwing very well with a good close by Julian Ovalle.
Our offense with metal bats hit very strong and ran with reckless abandonment. The defense was stellar and we face a strong team from Tampa tomorrow at 9 AM. As of tonight (Friday) we are seeded # 1 in the tournament.
Kudos to all
Lights out at 10:30

What a Day
Good evening from Georgia. We have finished an awesome day of baseball. We placed third in the 17U WWBA National Championship. We beat, Nrcall 2010, North Hurricanes and an awesome come from behind win over the reigning championions 4-2 with a bottom of the inning , leave them on the field victory over the Dirtbags. Julian Ovalle , one of or up and coming juniors pitched a gem. He has matured very well over this season.
We faced The Diamond Devils (who went on to win the event) and lost a heartbreaker 13-6. It was the most runs we have allowed all year at one time. The team played their hearts out but hit that ever present wall.
Hats off to the Diamond Devils, they played well and hit the ball with conviction. They went on to win the event.
This GM is proud of both his players and coaches. They do not know the meaning of the word defeat.
I believe we have made people stand up and take notice. Not one of the teams expected us to play with such athleticism and determination.
Off to Ft Myers and the BCS Nationals. We will fair well as we figure the competition to be good.

Saturday Recap
Sorry for such a delay but we have been very busy winning. We are now 4-0-1 and are seeded 17th out of 64 remaining teams. We are now into the round of 32 with a big win over New England Roughnecks 7-1. Kyle Finch pitched 6 innings of great baseball. Josh Scott came in to close and we are now awaiting our next opponent.
This week we have had great team performance from ALL players. I would have to write a ten page blog to cover everyone.
This group of young men are a cohesive unit led by Coaches Chad Upson and Sean Killeen ( who has his pitching staff only allowing 2 runs so far in this tournament).
I just want to add that I am proud of all parents, players and coaches for an awesome continuing effort. We are not finished yet and we will prevail.
