In memory of Berto 💙 — over the next few posts we’ll be highlighting some of this weekend’s championship teams with a special connection to him, including teams he used to coach and coaches that had a special connection to him, much more than just a fellow coach or acquaintance. Here is another one from the weekend. If you or someone you know has any other stories Ike this from the weekend. Shoot us a message, we would love to know!

🏆 13U GOLD BRACKET CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Congratulations to the 13U Canes Waco - Kainer squad — your Berto Memorial Classic Gold Bracket Champions! 🥇

Coached by Matt Kainer, Joe Davila, and Bowdy Shane, these boys battled all weekend and found a way to finish the job when it mattered most. That’s a championship you earned.

But this weekend was bigger than baseball. Every team on that field this weekend helped us honor Berto’s memory and be part of something none of us will forget.

Boys — you’ll always be able to say you were Berto Memorial Classic Champions. Wear it proud. 🏆

Playing the game. Honoring Berto. Making memories that last.

To everyone out there who has someone making an impact on their life like this — let them know. The days are long, but the years go by so fast. We all know there are days when a few words of encouragement can go a long way in someone’s heart. I know all these stories went a long way in mine, and they didn’t even have anything to do with me.

Thank you to Canes Waco and all the other organizations and independent teams who helped make the 1st Annual Berto Memorial Classic such a success. As a thank you, keep an eye out for a post coming soon with a small token of Worm Burners’ — and all of our people’s — gratitude and appreciation.

This event will continue each year and will raise money for a scholarship or two annually. We don’t want anyone to ever forget who Berto was or the impact he had on so many. We figured one fitting way to remember him is by making an impact on one or two local Central Texas graduating seniors each year. In the years to come, this will be much more than just a baseball tournament — it will be a weekend of honoring Berto and doing one of the things he loved most: having a great time! The only change in future years will be the date — it’ll move to late September or October.

Everyone have a great fall season. We know the fields will have a huge hole in them without Berto there. We take comfort in knowing that although he may not be there physically, he’ll always be there in our hearts.

 🏆 BERTO MEMORIAL CLASSIC — 18U CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆

You couldn’t script a better ending than this one…

Two of Berto’s own teams — Lopez Elite National Scout and 254 Baseball Lopez — squared off for the championship of the tournament that carries his name. Two programs he poured his heart into, going head-to-head for the title. What a beautiful thing.

As if that wasn’t good enough, both sides shook hands and agreed to settle the whole thing with three innings of banana ball. Because nothing honors a legend quite like unhinged baseball lol but most importantly the boys he loved and cared deeply for, having fun on a field he spent so much time on. At one point the coaches even joined in and got into the game too. Nothing says “I’m just here to manage the roster” like sprinting out mid-championship to play third base. By the final inning, it all came down to one pitcher, one catcher, one batter, and everybody else just watching like it was the World Series.

When the chaos finally settled, Lopez Elite National Scout walked away champions, with 254 Baseball Lopez putting up one heck of a fight as finalists🥈

Since Berto couldn’t be out there himself, these guys stepped in to run his teams for him — no pressure, right?
⚾ Terry McCutcheon & Edwin “Skip” Johnson — 254 Baseball
⚾ Adam Lemaster & Ian Young — Lopez Elite National, plus late reinforcements Kaleb Kurtz, AJ Bell, and Scott Beheler, who showed up like the cavalry.

Big shoutout to Michael Shubert and Richard Chouinard, who came out just to watch grown men play banana ball in Berto’s honor — true fans.

I’ve heard Berto say it a thousand time “I don’t care where they play, with me or if they feel another team is best.. I just want them on the field playing.” Although this may not have been the time of “playing” he meant. I have no doubt that he would have loved every second of it and would have been out there showing them he still had it.
