Always one of the best tournaments in North Carolina during the fall […]

Dozens of ranked teams made their way to the USSSA sites across the state this past weekend. We got to witness numerous games between ranked teams and even an upset of our #1 13u team. Here’s some of the highlights from this past weekend’s USSSA games.

We are going to try something different with the USSSA recap from this past weekend. Because so many teams are in action at this, the recaps have become increasingly unwieldy to read and time-consuming to right. We will go by age group, but simply provide a narrative of some of the highlights across the state in each group. Let us know if you prefer this format, or the old format for our recaps.  

The 11u-13u age groups in Lexington featured some loaded fields and some of the best teams in the region. There were some upsets and head-to-head games among some of the very best teams in these age groups. The results this past weekend have given us a lot to think about at the top of the rankings in these age groups. Here we highlight the biggest results from the weekend.

There were dozens of outstanding state and nationally ranked teams in action in Lexington, South Carolina this past weekend. Although there wasn’t much North Carolina representation in the 8u-10u age groups, some of the best teams from South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia came together for a great weekend of baseball. Here we recap the games from the 8u-10u Majors division this past weekend. 

There were a handful of ranked teams in action this weekend at the USSSA site in Myrtle Beach. This resulted in a number of games between ranked opponents, including a finals matchup between 11u NC #9 Canes Baseball NC – Naylor and SC #2 East Coast Snipers – Clark/Hill. Here we recap the weekend slate of games at the USSSA site in Myrtle Beach.

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. 

Showcase Baseball Academy (SBA) had quite the day in the 10 and 11u age groups, with 3 of the 4 finalists coming from SBA. The 10u age group featured a bit of surprise with the SBA Nationals finally getting one on their Rivals, the national #1 SBA Futures, and taking home the 10u crown. NC #2 SBA Futures was as dominant as ever, giving up 8 total runs in 6 games on their way to the 11u title. Here we provide a recap of the loaded 10u and 11u fields this weekend in Charlotte.
