🏆 CHAMPIONS! 🏆

What a way to finish the Last Man Standing Tournament! So proud of this Rip City 13U group for battling from the first pitch to the last.

This championship wasn't about one player, it was a complete team effort. Every single player contributed, whether it was a big hit, a key defensive play, or picking up their teammates when it mattered most. That's what championship baseball is all about.

And what a finish! Down to the final moments, the boys stayed locked in and walked it off with a clutch game-winning sac fly to bring home the title with a 10-9 win over the Spa City Stallions. These kids showed heart, resilience, and never stopped believing in each other. This is a special group, and we're excited to see what the rest of the season has in store.

Keep working, keep believing, and keep playing for each other. đź–¤

From 12 years old to Futures League home run derby champ. A lot of things stand out to me in this video.

Morrie’s swing has changed a lot over time, the weight room has allowed him to be more balanced, adjust to off-speed and continue to get stronger and more controlled. Over time with plenty of failures along the way he realized what will work and what won’t. He’s still figuring all of those things out as the competition gets tougher as all players have to as they get older and move on from high school baseball.

The thing that never changed was the love for the game of baseball and the grind that comes with it.
