Championship Game

Hillcrest (AL) 9

University 0

The Hillcrest Patriots showed why they are the best team in their state with a resounding 9-0 shutout win over University in the championship game on Friday night.

The game would then get out of hand quickly in the second when the Patriots scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point for seven runs in the frame. They recorded four hits and took advantage of three Titan errors to make their lead 8-0. Thirteen players headed to the plate in the inning.

Noah Barnette pitched five shutout innings for Hillcrest, and was spotted by Kyler Colburn, who tossed two scoreless himself. Over the four game week for the Patriots, they only had to use a grand total of five pitchers, and they allowed one total run in the four games.

Casey Page, Cole Frederick, Colby Smelley and Hunter Kamplain each had a pair of hits for Hillcrest. The Patriots, who are reigning Alabama 5A state champs, will head back to Tuscaloosa with four wins under their belt. University finished the week 3-1.

 

3rd Place Game

Barron Collier 2

Seabreeze 1

The third place game for the Showcase came down to a battle of pitching between the Barron Collier Cougars and the Seabreeze Sandcrabs. Both teams entered the day with identical 2-1 records, and the Cougars were able to come out on top thanks to defensive miscues and timely hitting.

Seabreeze jumped out to an early lead in the first when Curtis Tarus wore a pitch to make it to first base. He then proceeded to advance to second on a wild pitch, stole third base and came across to score on a Robert Bell sac fly. The Cougars would answer back in the bottom of the second when Andre Bozza touched home on an error by the Seabreeze shortstop.

The third, fourth, and fifth innings saw zeroes across the board for both teams. In the bottom of the sixth, a Dylan Doria sac fly scored Anthony Guerra to make the final of 2-1. Sean Means came in to close out the seventh for Barron Collier and earn the save.

Florida High came out hot in the first thanks to an RBI groundout form Matt Falstrom and a two-run single from first baseman Dylan Beiro. After that, it was all zeroes on the scoreboard until the fifth inning as both pitchers settled in.

Danny Ramos, Jeff Pelletier and Steve Laboy each recorded RBIs in the fifth inning to tie the game. After Adrian Soler tossed a scoreless frame in the bottom half, the Bears took the lead in the sixth with a Cristian Torres RBI double and Austin Quinones RBI single.

Harmony finishes the tournament with a 2-2 record, while the Hawks head home 0-4.

 

Montverde Academy 3

Jensen Beach 0

A single inning of offense and a strong start from Daniel Lopez was enough for the Montverde Eagles to secure a win over the Jensen Beach Falcons on Friday morning.

Montverde sent nine batters to the plate in the fourth inning and scored three runs on two hits and three errors by the Falcons. It was plenty of support for Lopez, who was on point all game long.Lopez gave up a single in the third and a single in the fourth ... and was dominant besides. In six innings of work, he allowed no runs, had two walks and struck out four.

The Eagles finish the week 2-2, while Jensen Beach ended with a 1-3 mark.
