Top Tier Indiana East 11u AAA

09/03/2026

🚨 This past Sunday Top Tier Indiana East 11u boys took the field together for the first time and kicked off their fall season with a 2–0 start.

A great first showing, but fall ball is about more than the scoreboard. It’s about learning new teammates, building trust, embracing new roles and learning to compete together as ONE team. Every game gives us something to celebrate and something to sharpen.

🔥 WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS
⚾️ ON THE MOUND - Five Top Tier arms shared the work Sunday and combined for 11 strikeouts.

❤️ Lennox Burgess (W) opened Game 1 with an 11-pitch outing (82% S%) with 2 strikeouts, zero walks and one hit allowed.
💙 Addington Hennessy followed with 3 strikeouts and one walk, while Nolan Nixon added another 2 strikeouts.
🤍 Cameron Kramer (W) set the tone in Game 2, throwing 10 pitches (80% S%), allowing no hits or walks and adding a strikeout.
❤️ Harrison Huff closed out the day with 3 more strikeouts and one walk on 18 pitches (67% S%)

🔥 AT THE PLATE
It was a full-team effort offensively, with every Tier Boy putting the ball in play during the weekend. Up and down the lineup, they found ways to get on, move runners and produce runs.

💥 23 Hits
💥 9 Walks
💥 3 Strikeouts
💥 .639 Team Batting Average
💥 55% Quality At-Bats

❤️ Brooks Lane, Cameron Kramer and Easton Smith each drove in 3 runs, leading the team with 9 combined RBIs.
💙 Rylan Breckenridge finished the weekend with a 100% QAB rate, with Axl Hickman close behind at 80%.

🎯 OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS
🏃 Own the Bases — Improve our leads at first and second and be ready to create pressure.
🎯 Reset & Adjust — After a foul ball, make the adjustment in the batter’s box and win the next pitch.
👀 Control the Running Game — When opponents attempt pickoffs, hitters step out and give our runners time to reset before getting back to work.
🧤 Finish the Tag — At first base, receive the baseball at the tag instead of reaching and swiping.
👊 Pound the Chest Together — When there are two strikes, the entire dugout is locked in. Everyone is IN THE FIGHT.

Week 1: Plenty to be proud of & plenty to keep building on.
