The 2014 Fall season kicked off this weekend for the 14u Elite Squad. The 14u Elite Squad played in the Baseball Youth Nationals this past weekend held in Pembroke Pines, Fl and made an impressive run in its first tournament together. Actually these were the first games this team has played together. Because of the recent weather, our 14u team had only been able to practice a total of 3 times together as a team before it took the field this Saturday for the first game in the tournament and first game together.
Although many of them playing together for the first time, they grabbed the team concept pretty quickly and went 2-0 on the day grabbing the #2 overall seed heading into playoffs. On Sunday morning the team would win a nail biter in the semi-final to move them to the championship game.
Elite Squad jumped their opponent for a 5-0 early lead in the championship game. Heading into the 6th with a 5-2 lead some costly errors lead to a 6 run inning for the opposing team and eventually the Squad would fall 8-6. All in all, it was a very successful first weekend as a group together. Plenty of positives and the mistakes made will be corrected with time with this group of both talented and resilient players.
