NC04DAD

What a great report !!!!! I just wish the local teams where winning a little more ..

Keep up the good work.

 

On Deck lost 11-3 today. They had to face a 6-7 righty named Stuart Pomeranz who was drafted in the second round of the MLB draft by the Cardinals.

Tomorrow they face the guys who were national champs last year. A team called the Florida Bombers. Tough draw all the way around for On Deck.

 

I was telling some people before the tournament that On Deck could be 0-3 and still play well...I am very familiar with the talent for the first 3 teams that they play. All 3 teams are in the Top 10 nationally....and it doesn't get any easier tomorrow.

Morgan Tyson is on the bump for On Deck

 

Congrads to Travis Moore(ABD Bulldogs)! Travis a very good outfielder from G'boro. He played with my son on the NC Cardinals for several years. He has plus speed on the bases. He ran a 6.64 at Perfect Game's Sunshine East Showcase! A very good 2004 prospect!

 

An update of the Diamond Devil's game today:

All-Star Baseball Academy 5 (0-2-1), Diamond Devils 18’s 5 (1-1-1)

DH Matt Willard (’04, Council Rock North HS, Newtown, PA) smashed a 3-run home run in the bottom of the 7th inning to pull All-Star Baseball Academy into a 5-5 tie with Diamond Devils 18’s. Willard’s home run was his third hit of the game, following a double and single. The Diamond Devils had took and early 4-0 lead, highlighted by 2B Reid Fronk’s (’04, Charlotte Christian Academy, NC) bases loaded triple in the 2nd inning. 3B Stuart Bost (’04, Charlotte Christian Academy, NC) had 3 hits and scored 2 runs for the Diamond Devils. C Pat Dufrayne (’04, The Shipley School, Drexel Hill, PA) had 2 hits and an Rbi for All-Star Baseball Academy and started the 7th inning rally with a single.

 

why is reid playing second base? i think he should he be playing third

 

Florida Bombers 9 (3-0), On Deck O’s 2 (0-3)

RHP Sean Watson (’03, Tennessee) threw 4 1-hit innings to pace the defending champion Florida Bombers to a 9-2 victory over the On Deck O’s and a 3-0 record in pool play. Watson consistently pitched at 91 mph early in the game and retired the last 11 hitters he faced, leaving with a 7-0 lead. The Bomber offense again presented a balanced attack, as 8 players scored runs and 7 collected base hits. C J.P. Arencibia (’04, Westminster Christian, Homestead, FL) had 2 hits and 3 Rbi’s to lead the effort.

 

I agree
