USSSA Beast of the East 12-13u Recap April 2019

These were by far the best 12u and 13u fields of the early spring season. 16 out of 20 top 10 North Carolina teams combined between the age groups, 21 total ranked North Carolina teams, two top 15 nationally ranked teams, as well as a top 10 team from South Carolina made these fields perhaps the best we will see all season in the 12 and 13u age groups. Similar to the younger age groups, the best North Carolina teams showed out with titles for our #2 12u team (SBA Futures) and #1 13u team (Canes Baseball Eastern NC). In two age groups that haven’t been as active in the early spring because of middle school baseball, the BoE was the first true test many of these teams have face. Take a look at our recap of the weekend’s games.
