Carolina Elevate 11U

🏆 GOLD BRACKET CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Saturday we split 1-1 and didn’t end the way we wanted. Sunday was a different story. 🔥

Carolina Elevate 11U came into Bracket Sunday ready to compete. First up was the #2 seed, and the boys battled all the way to the final out to pull out a 12-11 win.

Then it was on to the championship against the #1 seed — and Elevate got it done again! Competitive pitching, big plays on defense, and a lot of fight helped hold off a late rally and bring home the 🏆!

Beat the #2 seed. Beat the #1 seed. Finished as champions.

Proud of the way these boys responded and competed when it mattered most! ⚾️💪

🏆 TOURNAMENT MVP — MADDOX DANCY 🏆

Mr. Reliable! 💪⚾️

Maddox was chosen by his coaches as our Tournament MVP, and he earned it!

This kid just kept finding ways to get on base. Maddox reached safely 8 times in 11 plate appearances and came around to score 6 runs! 🔥

The best part? He’s been putting in the extra work at home, and it’s showing when it matters. Consistent at-bats, finding ways on base, and helping his team put runs on the board all weekend.

8 times on base. 6 runs scored. Tournament MVP. 🏆

Keep working, Maddox! 📈⚾️

🧙‍♂️⚾️ THE WIZARD AT SHORTSTOP! ⚾️🧙‍♂️

Our SS, Lucas Barker, earned MVP honors in the first bracket game today, and he did it with the glove!

Web gem after web gem. Tough plays, smooth hands, and making everything hit his way look routine. His defense was so good, it had us thinking about Ozzie “The Wizard” Smith! 🪄

You don’t have to hit a home run to take over a baseball game. Sometimes you do it one play at a time with the leather. 🥶

🏆 GOLD BRACKET GAME MVP
🧙‍♂️ THE WIZARD OF SHORTSTOP

💣 THREE BOMBS. THREE BIG MOMENTS. 💣

The Carolina Elevate 11U bats brought some serious power when it mattered this weekend! ⚾️🔥

💥 Logan Whitley (left) — 3-run HR in our first bracket game. This one cleared the fence, landed in the parking lot and found a car! 😳

💥 Silas Watson (middle) — 2-run HR in that same bracket game. Another shot into the parking lot — and luckily the person in its path was paying attention and dodged it! 😂

💥 Blaise Salomon (right) — 3-run HR in the championship game! A huge swing in a huge moment that kept the momentum on our side when we needed it most. 🏆

8 runs on three swings. Three Elevate bombs. 💣💣💣

Way to show up when it mattered, boys! 📈⚾️

💣 SILAS WATSON GOES YARD! 💣

Big swing for Carolina Elevate 11U today as 1st baseman Silas Watson launched a 3-run HOME RUN! ⚾️🔥

Clutch swing with runners on and a big three runs on the board for Elevate!

Keep climbing, Silas! 📈

🏆 CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Carolina Elevate 11U went 4-0 and brought home the championship at Top Gun in Mocksville! 🔥

⚾ 60 runs scored | 8 allowed
💣 2 Grand Slams
🔥 36 hits
👀 31 walks earned — patience at the plate!
🎯 Our pitching staff combined for 18 strikeouts

But the biggest takeaway from this weekend was the resilience and composure of this team. They faced plenty of adversity and plenty of outside noise, but they never let it change the way they played.

They stayed composed, kept competing, and LET THEIR PLAY DO THE TALKING. 💪

And their play spoke pretty loudly — they run-ruled every opponent they faced.

Great weekend and a complete TEAM effort. Proud of these boys! 🏆🔥

💣 CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND SLAM! 💣

Koen Holmes came up BIG when it mattered most! 🔥

Koen absolutely launched a GRAND SLAM in the Championship Game — and this one was a BOMB! 🚀💣

What a moment and what a way to show up on the biggest stage! 💪⚾

Congrats, Koen! Keep crushing it! 🔥

💣 GRAND SLAM ALERT! 💣

Congratulations to Blaise Salomon on launching a HUGE GRAND SLAM over the right-center field fence in our second game of pool play!

This kid is ON FIRE! 🔥🔥 Keep it rolling, Blaise! 💪⚾💣
