This weekend, our boys were spread across two different Perfect Game All-State events—Charlotte and Sanford—but no matter where they were playing, one thing never changed…
They were still one team.
These boys spent the weekend competing against some of the best players around, against each other, pushing themselves outside their comfort zones, making new friends, and representing TLP Red.
The accomplishments speak for themselves.
Juice pitched his team to a Silver Bracket Championship, launched 2 home runs, finished #1 in pitching, and #3 in hitting.
Easton finished #1 in pitching in Charlotte, proving he can take over a game from the mound.
Chandler had an absolute day at the plate, smoking four doubles and making pitchers pay.
Our boy Jax added another homer to his trophy case. Nana didn’t make any bets with him this time. 🤣
Graham finished 8th in pitching, did his thing behind the plate, and gave everyone the highlight of the weekend. In what can only be described as an MLB-worthy attempt to score, G launched himself over the catcher trying to avoid the tag and landed on home plate. Turns out… 11U rules don’t allow that. He was called out, but if there had been style points, G would have won them all. Too bad game changer wasn’t recording, because the MLB would have played that clip!
Luke put his speed on display for everyone this past weekend. He competed in the skills competition and brought home 3rd place in the fastest runner competition. If you’ve watched him patrol the outfield or beat out an infield hit, you already knew he could fly.
Billy, who usually locks things down at third base, showed everyone this weekend that he can do a whole lot more. Sliding over to shortstop, he looked right at home and proved just how versatile he is defensively.
But if you asked us what we’ll remember most…
It won’t be the rankings.
It won’t be the home runs.
It won’t even be the championship.
It’ll be watching these boys cheer louder for each other than they did for themselves.
Whether they were teammates for the weekend or played in different cities, they celebrated every big moment for each other and reminded us that what they’ve built together is bigger than baseball.
That’s what makes this group special.
Talent gets noticed.
Hard work earns respect.
This weekend was full of home runs, strikeouts, medals, rankings, laughs, and memories.
More than anything, it reminded us that TLP Red isn’t just a baseball team.
It’s a brotherhood.
Now let’s get back together… We've got a fall season to chase.
