Nov. 13th, 2011Twin Creeks Sports Complex)

Back in action over the weekend of Nov. 12th & 13th, the Golden Era 10’s continued their hot play on the diamond. The tournament started out with the 10’s bats picking right back up where they left off, on fire, scoring 17 runs in 4 innings against the DBA (Danville Baseball Academy) Crushers.

The big inning of the game came in the 4th, when the G.E. 10’s put 12 runs on the scoreboard.  The inning featured big hits from several players, including triples from Ryan Mooar & Parker Allen as well as doubles from Hunter Mott, Aidan Pearce, Kavika Baumgartner & Nehemiah House. Sammy Von Feldon, Giacomo Watson & C.J. Hudson added base-hits in the frame to add to Golden Era biggest inning of the Fall.

Golden Era vs. DCT Baseball

The Golden Era 10’s picked up their second win of the tournament as their solid play continued against DCT, picking up a 6-0 shutout victory. Nehemiah House got the start on the mound and was nothing short of dominating. In 5 innings pitched House allowed just 1 hit, no earned runs, 2 walks and struck out 3.

Hunter Mott was Golden Era’s offensive threat in the game, scoring 3 of the teams 6 runs while reaching base 3 times with a single, walk and hit by pitch. Mott also picked up 4 steals on the bases.

Throughout the game the G.E. 10’s were very aggressive on the bases, picking up 10 stolen bases, lead by C.J Watson with 1, Aidan Pearce & David Tibbetts with 2, along with Mott’s 4.

Ryan Mooar came in to close out the game on the mound, throwing an inning of scoreless baseball.


Pacifica Chaos vs. Golden Era Baseball

In the Golden Era’s 10’s final game of the tournament they had the opportunity to face the current #1 ranked team in the state of California, Pacifica Chaos. David Tibbetts took the mound for G.E. and threw well striking out 3 while give up a couple runs.

In the bottom of the 3rd inning, down 4-0 Golden Era put together a rally off Pacifica’s hard throwing pitcher with a single by Ryan Mooar, who then stole 2nd base. Hunter Mott then lined a single into centerfield to make the game 4-1. Giacomo Watson then also reached base and the G.E. 10’s had an opportunity to draw closer. Pacifica was able to get out of the inning though and went on to win the championship.

All in all, the Golden Era 10’s played great over the weekend, scoring 31 runs, playing solid defense & pitching very well. As equally important, they showed they are really coming along as baseball players and left EVERYTHING they had on the field. It was great to watch!

GE 10's ONE RUN SHY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Golden Era 10's kept their hot play going on Sunday as they came out on fire, scoring 10 runs in the bottom of the first inning. The first game wrapped up after 4 innings with the 10's advancing with a 14-5 victory.
The final game was one of the best played 10U games we have ever seen. With the game tied 3 to 3 after 6 innings, the game headed into extra frames where the Golden Era 10's fell one run short.

The 10's played with a ton of heart and we couldn't be more proud of their effort! ALL the players played great and really came together as a team! Everything they had they left on the field and that's the why you like it. Great job GE 10's!!!

I'd also like to say THANK YOU to the parents for getting your player to the workouts every week. I know sometimes it's not easy especially with the distance that some parents traveled. I thank all of you for the support and the sacrifice!

I truly hope to see all the players again soon! Always remember, the best way to get better... is to practice. You have to get out there and play!

Continued Success to All...
