PGF Draw is out, and it is a tough draw for some teams. Very good games in the first round, with some very good 01' teams matching up with some good 00' teams. Hard to imagine half of these very good teams will be fighting out of the losers bracket after their first game. Who will it be?
First Round games
Corona Angels - Tyson vs. DirecTV Genies Elite - Coleman
The PGF 14u champs from last year will be defending their title against the PGF 12u runner up from last year. The Genies are a very good 01' team, and will not go down easy.
OC Batbusters - Steele vs. Salinas Storm - Jimenez
A good matchup between two very good 01 teams. The Storm played well in Vegas, and are one of the top 01 teams from NorCal. And the Batbusters have been one of the top 01 teams from So Cal for some time now. Should be a good game
AZ Suncats - Judge vs. Firecrackers - Thornburg
The Suncats are a great 00' team. They could win it all. But the Firecrackers will be tough to beat. This will be a great game. Both teams have great pitching. And very good hitters.
So Cal A's - Mercado/Smith vs. Sorcerer - Gasgcione
The Sorcerers are one of the top 00' teams from NorCal and matchup with the A's, who have played well against the top 00' teams around the country. Another good matchup between 01' and 00' teams.
Corona Angels - Slye vs. EC Bullets - Biele
The Angels match up with one of the top 00' teams from Georgia. The EC Bullets who have one of the top 2019 pitchers in the country. The Angels are a talented 01' team. Another geat matchup.
Courage - Weaver vs. MN Renegades - Bruzek
Good Matchup between two very good 00' teams. The Renegades played well in Colorado. And Courage won PGF 14unPlatinum last year as a first year team.
Bev. Bandits - Harkness vs. Birm. Thunderbolts - Dorsett
The Bandits also have one of the top 2019 pitchers in the country. But the Bolts also have some good pitchers, and are one of the best hitting 01' teams in the country. Should be a good matchup for these two teams.
AZ Hotshots Elite - Mabrey vs Birm. Thunderbolts - Maze
The Hotshots are another very good 00' team from AZ. They matchup with the 00' Bolts who have some very good players on this team, that has only been together for a year. Another good game to watch.
Good luck to all ! Should be a great tournament..
