GOLDEN ERA BASEBALL CELEBRATES 10 YEARS AS A PROGRAM

Golden Era Baseball's First 18U Team


I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for 10 years of support, positive energy and great baseball! October 15, 2014 marks 10 years since Golden Era Baseball began with a single Hitting Class in the Fall of 2004. When I look back over the years it is truly enjoyable to think of moments I have seen out on the field.


o   Kyle Teague throwing out the first pitch in our Program history in an 18U tournament event

o   Jordan Durrance being the first player who ever played for us being selected in the Major League Draft

o   Having the opportunity to work and Coach with Mitchell Page, former St. Louis Cardinals & Washington Nationals Hitting Coach

o   The 16 inning marathon game we had with the San Diego Show in the 2006 Wood Bat World Series in San Diego

o   Our 11U team in 2007 winning the ‘Road to Rosenblatt’ Tournament during the College World Series in Omaha and the players throwing water on John Rogan

o   Akaintunde Ahmad receiving a 5.0 GPA in High School & moving on to play baseball at Yale University

o   Our 12U team winning the 2014 Hawaii World Series

o   The opening of our indoor training facility for our Club Team Players this fall in 2014

o   And the very first hitting class we ever had which got it all started

These are just some of the countless great memories I have. It has been an awesome 10 years and I look forward to seeing what the next 10 years has in front of us.

Thank you again to everyone who has been there along the way. I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to do what I love every single day! Lastly, for all the players that have been part of anything we’ve done over the last 10 years… I hope that all of you are doing well and I look forward to the day of seeing you again!

Continued success to all…

Derek

GOLDEN ERA 12U WIN TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP ON WALK-OFF!

Bottom of the 6th inning, one out, down by two runs in the Championship Game...

That's when Jesse Molinar III came up to hit with one job, get on base to get the tying run to the plate. Molinar hit a ground ball to first base that looked like it would be the second out when the 1st basemen had a slight bobble and by the time he recovered and got to the base, Molinar was rewarded for busting down the line and beat it out.

Next up, Ian Pascual, who fell behind in the count one ball and two strikes before lining a ball that split the center and right fielders for a double, which scored Molinar to put Golden Era down by one.

Josh Ugot came to the plate next and didn't wait around as he lined a double as well which possibly could of been the hardest ball hit all season, to score Pascual and tie the game at 5-5.

Next batter, Hunter Mott, who hit a rocket base hit to center field. Ugot had to freeze to make sure the ball would not be caught and advanced to third on the play.

Jordan Webb came to the plate next and hit a high chopper to the first basemen who came up firing, but a little high and Ugot slid in to complete the walk-off win!

Even though these players were mentioned in the comeback in the last inning, it truly was a TEAM EFFORT, where every player played a role to win this Championship.

Great job Golden Era 12's!

Please take a moment to watch the last play below...
