⚡ SURGE 13U GOLD — WHAT A WEEKEND! ⚡
4–1 | SECOND PLACE | PLAYING UP IN 14U 60/90 🥈
We started the weekend with 10 players. One dealing with a football injury. Another coming off mouth surgery. By Sunday, we had a thumb injury added to the mix.
Because playing up against older kids on the big field wasn’t enough already… these boys decided they wanted to compete. and they came out ON FIRE. 🔥
Saturday started with 17 runs in three innings, followed by a 6–2 win. Across both games, they only had ONE inning where we didn’t score and allowed just TWO runs total. That earned us the No. 1 seed.
Apparently, that got some people talking.
We walked into the ballpark Sunday hearing we’d played “easy teams” and that our team was “dog wash.” Well… the tone was set. Our boys had an opportunity to answer on the field.
First game Sunday: a 7–2 win. Braxton gave us a solid performance on the mound, and Bryer closed it out. No strikeouts recorded, just four hits allowed, and a defense behind them making plays. That’s TEAM baseball. ⚾
Then came the semifinals. A team with size, some freshmen, and their “dude” on the mound. It was a battle, but our boys stayed in it and pulled out a 4–2 win.
Off to the championship.
No excuses here. We got beat. The boys got rattled, and we couldn’t get things going. That’s part of competing, learning how to respond when the game gets tough and carrying those lessons into the next one.
But that last game doesn’t erase what this group accomplished.
A banged-up roster of 10 went 4–1 against older competition and brought home second place. They started earning respect through their play. Everyone had their moments, at the plate, on the mound, in the field, on the bases, and supporting each other in the dugout.
Most importantly, they started playing together as a TEAM.
Proud of these young men. Plenty to build on. Plenty still to learn. And plenty of reasons to be excited about what’s ahead.
WE BEFORE ME. FEAR THE POWER. ⚡
