    More like 'Billy the Exterminator'. Need to change the name of the team to VexCon!

    After accomplishing this feat, the Dirtbags can wear any uniform that want...it will look great!

    I know most of you may not realize how terrific this accomplishment is, but for those that have attended Jupiter and seen the National power teams this event attracts, it is truly amazing.

    Congratulations to AP, his staff and the players.

    Typical of these pool play tourneys -
    one mistake - ONE - can send you home early.

    To have 3 - DBs Canes & SCP in bracketplay
    says much about the development of players in the area.

    Hopefully - many players from NC/SC/VA programs (& high schools)
    that did not even attend the event will ride these "coat tails"
    and get the looks they desearve.

    On Deck can certainly attest to that quote. With a one run loss and three tie games, they may not have advanced to bracket play, but certainly held their own. To tie the Royals scout team - who was one of the favorites to win it all - a team with 24 players from 12 different states - this hometown team with 18 players from an approximate 30 mile radius had a very competitive showing. Great job guys. NC definitely has some good baseball talent.

    Notes from Baseball America Article

    • The strength of North and South Carolina's 2011 and 2012 classes was evident with Canes Baseball and the Dirtbags making the final four. Canes righthander Jordan Ramsey goes to North Davidson High in Lexington, N.C.—the same high school as 2012 shortstop Landon Lassiter. Ramsey is committed to UNC-Wilmington and has a projectable 6-foot-4, 180-pound frame. He was sitting 87-88 with his fastball and touched 90. He flashed a sharp, 68-70 curveball and mixed in a 75 changeup. Catcher Brett Austin is from Providence High in Charlotte and will attract scouts in the spring with his strong frame and switch-hitting abilities. D.C. Arendas is a 2012 infielder for the Dirtbags and has filled out some since the spring. Now 6-foot-1, 180 pounds with a broad upper body, Arendas has a short swing and showed an ability to use the whole field. He didn't play shortstop at this event, but showed good defensive skills at second and third.
