Team finishes 3-3 in South Carolina

AptosAces_CatcherThe Aptos Aces 14 and under baseball team recently completed the June 13-18 High Tide Tournament at the beautiful Ripken Experience Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with three wins in six games. The Aces fought through near record heat and humidity to play very well overall.

The week opened with Sunday’s exciting opening ceremonies and skills competitions. The games began on Monday, and the Aces were immediately faced with 99-degree heat and high humidity. They overcame the conditions and posted a 14-2 win over the Lake County (Illinois) Stars. Corey Peterson, Austin Muller, Max Lofano and Cody Goldsmith who had two hits apiece led the Aces’ offense. Austin Hudspeth reached base three times and scored twice. Pitchers Brandyn Kringen and Jacob Marino combined to allow only five hits in the opener.

Tuesday opened with a tough 3-2 loss to the Windy City Steal from Chicago. The Aces got strong pitching from Jameson Gates, Muller, Cole Welle and Ben Brenkwitz along with outstanding defensive plays from shortstop Goldsmith and right fielder Jonathan Bol among others, but just couldn’t get the offense rolling. Goldsmith had two hits and scored a run; Welle doubled and scored the other run.

Wednesday dawned with more promise as they began with a 10-2 thrashing of the South Florida Eagles. Pitchers Muller and Corey Peterson combined to allow only 4 hits in the win. Brenkwitz and Kringen exploded with four hits apiece, Hudspeth had three hits including a double and a triple, Marino and catcher Zach Egan had two hits each, and Peoples contributed an RBI double.

The Aces then completed pool play Wednesday night with a 7-5 victory over the Webb Bridge (Georgia) A’s. Gates started and pitched well in the brutal heat, Welle then did a great job of middle relief before Brenkwitz got the last two outs for the save. The key hit of the game was a bases loaded pinch-hit triple in the fourth inning by Marino. Kringen, Egan, Bol and Peoples had two hits each.

The Ace’s tournament ended Thursday afternoon against the Jacksonville (Florida) Heat when they again couldn’t get the offense going and were defeated 6-1. Kringen started and pitched well, but the Aces gave up five runs in the second inning and couldn’t recover.

Marino was dominating in three innings of relief and Kringen had two more hits in the final game.

The local boys and their families had a truly memorable week of baseball combined with fun in Myrtle Beach and in the warm waters of the Atlantic.

The team continues to play and is off next to Manteca this month for a four day Wood Bat tournament at Field of Dreams Park.

09-libraBoth Venus and Mars are working well in your sign, giving you a stunning ability to get what you want in the easiest way possible. You wish it was always this simple! But don't ignore hard reality and the rule book while you're at it and recognize what limits you. See this as a small challenge rather than a major headache and provided you remain positive, you can easily make a difference. Working behind the scenes means that you may not yet get the recognition you feel you deserve, but you certainly don't go unnoticed!
