There were dozens of teams in action this past weekend across the region at the Top Gun sites. This included a handful of games between ranked teams. Here we recap the weekend of Top Gun games that took place across a number of the sites in action.
Top Gun 10u In Aiken, South Carolina, Solid Crush Orange (SC) went […]
The SBA Futures finished the 2018-2019 12u season as the #1 team in this age group, and they finished off the fall 2019 season in the same spot. They have shown they are willing to travel anywhere and play anyone, but the gap between the Futures and the rest of the top of the age group is small. Hopefully we’ll see some more competition between the top teams in this age group this spring.
Although the 11u age group may have been the most controversial in the race for #1, the decision was nearly as difficult in the 12u age group as well. Several of the teams who have been around the top in years past were again top competitors in the fall, however in the end it was the Rawlings Prospects who won out for #1 spot in our final rankings. Here we recap an outstanding season of baseball in the 12u age group.
There was perhaps no bigger debate for the #1 spot in an age group than in the 11u age group. 3 teams – the SBA Futures, Park Sharon Nationals – Pirro, and the SBA Nationals – made strong cases for the #1 spot. In the end, we chose the Futures for our #1 team, but this will be a debate that continues into 2020. Here we recap the Fall 2020 season in the 11u age group.
It was a tight battle for the top spot in the 10u age group, with the results of a single extra inning game separating the top two teams. Right behind the top two teams were several other strong performing teams in this highly competitive age group. We saw a lot of matchups between ranked teams this fall and this will be an exciting age group to follow in 2020. Here we recap the fall season in the 10u age group.
The 9u age saw a number of teams state their case for the top spot this fall, posting some impressive showings. In the end, SBA Rowan’s outstanding record and level of competition won out as they held onto the top spot in our final rankings. Here we recap the seasons of our top 20 teams in North Carolina.
The Fall season in the 8u age group is always interesting to watch as teams and players develop, generally seeing their first experiences in travel ball. West Raleigh Blue almost always produces teams near the top of these younger age groups, and this fall was no exception with West Raleigh Blue finished in the top spot after posting an overall record of 14-2. Here we recap the fall season in the 8u age group.
21 ranked teams across the 10u and 12u age groups, and 207 teams in total made their way to the 2nd weekend of the Top Gun Winter World Series. There were some huge match ups between ranked teams, cases made for changes to the rankings, as well as some impressive showings from previously unranked teams. Here we recap a great weekend of baseball from this past weekend.
Rain messed up what was shaping up to be an excellent Sunday of games in Charlotte. Only the 8u, 12u Majors, and 13u AAA division were able to get through bracket play on Sunday. 12u #2 Canes Baseball NC – Foster staked their claim to regain the #1 spot in the 12u age group, while #9 Asheville A’s made an impressive run through the 8u division on their way to the title. We missed some of the key matchups we were hoping to see, particularly in the 11u age group, but overall it was another exciting weekend of baseball with some of the best teams in the region. Here we recap the weekend of games at the Fall USSSA Beast of the East (BoE).
