You are currently viewing 16u Slugger Goes a Perfect 7-0 at BCS!!!

The 2013 Elite Squad 16u Slugger headed into the Perfect Game BCS winning the Vero Beach Classic Tournament and also going 5-0-1 at the USSSA State Tournament before rain cancelled the rest of the tournament.

The rain seemed to follow all our teams to Fort Meyers as the 16u Squad was able to go 6-0 over the two pools (original & re-seeded pool) in between the storms that landed in Fort Meyers. The first playoff games began on the final day at 1pm. The Squad would have to win 4 games that day to win the tournament but was in position to do so having all the pitchers ready and available as well as having the offense rolling. Unfortunately for the 2nd straight tournament the rain came down and Perfect Game had to cancel the remaining games.

Although we all would have loved finish playing out the playoffs, it was impossible to do so at that point so Elite Squad was awarded 3rd place because of their seed before playoffs. The Squad was the only team to go 7-0 as the other games were still going on while the rains flooded the fields, but that’s just the way things go sometimes. This doesnt take anything away from how well they played all week and some outstanding performances that occured during the event.

Danny Reyes was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament

Gentry Fortuno was named Most Valuable Pitcher of the tournament.

 

Congratulations to these players and the entire team on a terrific showing!
