    The South Charlotte Panther 2013 team returned home from 10 days in Jupiter, Florida where they competed in the 72 Team USA Baseball National 16U Championship East. The Panthers finished pool play with a 3-2 record and advanced to the championship round of 32 teams as the #15 seed. In championship play they knocked off the Fort Bend Texans (Round of 32); Palm Beach PAL (Round of 16) and FTB Mizuno (Round of 8). The Panthers lost to Team Elite (GA) in the semi finals and then won the Bronze Medal Game over the Orlando Scorpions.

    Philip Perry (JM Robinson) had 2 wins on the mound pitching 11 innings; giving up 8 hits and 2 runs. Kirk Morgan (Mallard Creek) closed two games in relief earning 2 Saves. Alexander Bostic (Weddington) pitched a complete game one hit shut out and Jon Stires (Lake Norman) pitched a complete game victory over FTB Mizuno. Andrew Locklear (South Point) pitched a complete game victory in the Bronze Medal game. Nathan Helvey (Fort Mill/COC) and Jake Cochrane (North Lincoln) also had wins on the mound for the Panthers.

    Kirk Morgan led the offense going 15 for 33 at the plate with 10 RBIs. Colby Barnette (Piedmont) joined the team following NC State Games and was 9 for 21. Nick Salisbury (Independence) 10 for 28; Brett Milleman (Charlotte Christian) 10 for 27; Jeremy Schellhorn (Weddington) 8 for 24; Logan Sherer (East Meck) 8 for 24; Thomas Nantz (Ardrey Kell) 7 for 24 and Kendall Hughes (Providence Day) 3 for 11 were also key offensive contributors.

    The Panther defense was solid all week committing 8 errors in 10 games led by solid play up the middle by C Eric Tyler (South Rowan); CFs Ian Hinson (South Pointe SC); Brian Bauk (Salisbury) and MIF Derek Smith (Marvin Ridge).

    The 2013 Panthers (16-6) return to action on Thursday June 30 in the CBC Os tournament in Charlotte.
