🐸🏆 NTX FROGS 11U — TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS! 🏆🐸
What a weekend for these boys! 💜🖤
THE NTX FROGS ARE BRINGING HOME ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP! 🏆
We’ve been talking a lot lately about the MENTAL SIDE OF BASEBALL. Staying focused, playing with confidence, competing every pitch, hitting the ball with authority, playing solid defense, pitching well, and doing the little things right. This weekend, these boys showed what they’re capable of when it all starts coming together!
🔥 THE BATS WERE ON FIRE! 🔥
Our offense showed up in a BIG way this weekend, blasting 7 HOME RUNS throughout the tournament, including 5 ON SUNDAY ALONE! 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Sunday was especially impressive, with the Frogs putting up 28 runs in three games!
💣 Cannon crushed a HUGE 3-run go-ahead home run against Forge that made all the difference in a tight 6-4 victory! He also collected 4 hits and scored 5 runs throughout the tournament!
💣 Leo launched a 3-run bomb to center against Lonestar! He finished the weekend hitting .400 with 7 RBIs and was perfect defensively with a 1.000 fielding percentage!
💣 Carter went yard TWICE on Sunday, including a 3-run shot against the Abilene Bombers and a 2-run bomb against Lonestar! He finished with 6 RBIs and came through with some big swings when we needed them!
💣 Gavin had himself a WEEKEND! Two home runs, one to right field Saturday and another to left-center Sunday! He finished hitting an impressive .615 with 8 hits, 7 RBIs, and 8 runs scored! He also recorded 8 strikeouts on the mound!
⚾ AND IT WASN’T JUST THE LONG BALL!
👏 Brody was outstanding defensively, finishing with a PERFECT 1.000 fielding percentage, recording 5 putouts without an error! He also swung the bat extremely well, hitting .500 and coming through with some big hits against the Abilene Bombers!
👏 Collin continued to be a big part of our offense, driving in 5 runs throughout the tournament, including some clutch hits with runners in scoring position. He also played error-free defense and contributed on the mound!
👏 Nixon did a great job setting the tone offensively, getting on base, putting the ball in play, and using his speed! He scored 8 runs, stole 4 bases, and was solid on the mound, including 3 strikeouts against Forge!
👏 Everest was a difference-maker all weekend! He led the team with 6 stolen bases, drove in 4 runs, and brought energy on both sides of the ball. He also delivered a strong pitching performance against Lonestar with 4 strikeouts!
👏 Huck came through with a big 2-RBI hit against Lonestar and continued to work hard behind the plate! Catching is no easy job, and having someone willing to battle back there and handle our pitchers is a huge part of our success!
👏 Brady showed exactly why fundamentals matter, laying down a HUGE su***de squeeze in the championship game Sunday night! That’s the kind of unselfish, heads-up baseball that helps win championships! He also contributed on the basepaths with 2 stolen bases!
⚡ Smith made some great defensive plays in the outfield and showed off his impressive speed on the bases! He drew 3 walks, stole 4 bases, and continued to put pressure on opposing defenses. When that kid gets moving, he’s fun to watch!
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BOYS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CHAMPIONSHIP! 💪🐸
⚾ PITCHING AND DEFENSE WIN GAMES!
Our pitching staff stepped up all weekend! Gavin, Everest, Nixon, Leo, Collin, Cannon, and Carter all contributed on the mound Sunday, giving us important innings and competing when their numbers were called.
We had some big strikeouts, clutch defensive plays, a double play, and guys making the routine plays that can sometimes make the biggest difference.
💪 THE MENTAL GAME IS WHERE WE’RE GROWING!
More than anything, this is what makes us proud as coaches. We’ve been challenging these boys to be mentally tougher, trust their abilities, hit with confidence, and understand that baseball isn’t always about making the highlight play.
Sometimes it’s laying down a bunt, moving a runner, making a routine defensive play, throwing strikes, or picking up a teammate when things get tough.
It’s about doing YOUR job for the TEAM!
We saw a lot of that this weekend. These boys competed, supported each other, played with confidence, and found ways to get the job done!
There’s still plenty of work ahead and a lot of room to grow, but weekends like this remind us why we put in the time and effort. Watching these boys develop as baseball players and, more importantly, as teammates is what makes coaching so rewarding!
A huge thank you to our parents and families for always showing up, cheering these boys on, and supporting what we’re building. We love these kiddos and couldn’t be prouder of them!
KEEP WORKING. KEEP BELIEVING. KEEP COMPETING.
CHAMPIONSHIP EARNED! WAY TO GO, FROGS! 🐸🏆💜🖤
