🏆 11U RAWLINGS TIGERS — PERFECT GAME CHAMPIONS! 🏆
CHAMPIONS! What a weekend for our 11U Rawlings Tigers Tiger Point!
Before we get into the full weekend recap, let’s shoutout our families. There’s something special about watching a plan come together. We’re lucky enough to have families of this team that have now stuck together for three, four or five seasons, continuing to work, develop and build on what we learned the season before. There were some tough seasons early on when the wins didn’t always come and the results didn’t necessarily reflect the work being put in behind the scenes. But our families stayed together, trusted our coaches and believed in the long-term plan. Now, we’re beginning to see the fruits of that commitment. Building a program is a process. Developing players is a process. Building a winning culture is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But when players and families trust the process, trust their coaches, keep showing up and stick together through the difficult days, eventually the good days follow. This team is a pretty special example of that. 🐅
Now back to the weekend recap.
The Tigers went a perfect 4–0, bringing their season record to 8-1 overall. These boys outscored their opponents 33–15, survived two nail-biters, delivered a walk-off semifinal victory, and finished the job by bringing home the Perfect Game Sunday Series Championship!

🚨 WALK-OFF TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
The semifinal against Blackwater was an absolute battle.
With the semi final game tied 6–6 in extra innings, Noah Foraker stepped to the plate and delivered the WALK-OFF HIT, sending the Tigers to the championship game!
It was the kind of moment these kids will remember for a long time — coming through under pressure with the season’s biggest game on the line.
🏆 TOURNAMENT MVP — RYDER DELANEY #22
A huge congratulations to Ryder Delaney, who was named the overall Perfect Game Tournament MVP!
Ryder delivered all weekend, finishing:
3-for-6 | .500 AVG | 4 RBI | 4 Runs | 2 BB | Triple
And he came up huge when it mattered most.
In the Championship Game, Ryder went 1-for-1 with a triple, 2 runs, an RBI and a walk!
Big-time players show up in big-time moments, and Ryder did exactly that.
🔥 TOP 3 PERFORMERS
⭐ SPURLIN MORETZ #8
5-for-7 | .714 AVG | 5 RBI | 4 R | 2B | 5 SB
Spurlin was an absolute problem for opposing teams all weekend. He led the Tigers with 5 hits, drove in 5 runs and constantly created pressure on the bases. He also stepped onto the mound and recorded a key out in the 7–6 victory over the Outlaws.
⭐ JACE WALDO #19
Hitting: 2-for-6 | HR | 4 RBI | 5 R | 3 BB
Pitching: 6 IP | 2 ER | 6 K | 1 BB | 2 Wins
Jace made an impact everywhere. He blasted a true inside the park GRAND SLAM in the opening 14–0 victory, picked up the win in the semifinal to shut the door for an inning in extras so the Tigers offense to get the win, then took the ball for the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and was DOMINANT.
Jace went the full 5 innings, allowing just 1 earned run with 5 strikeouts and only 1 walk to help bring home the title!
⭐ MAX SHARRETT #15
3-for-4 | .750 AVG | 1 RBI | 7 R | 4 BB | 8 SB
Pitching: 2 IP | 1 H | 0 R | 6 K
Max put together a monster all-around weekend. He is the engine of this Tigers offense hitting in the 2 hole. He reached base constantly, scored 7 runs and stole 8 bases.
He was dominant on the mound in the opener — striking out 6 of the 10 batters he faced over two scoreless innings. Even when he faced adversity in a bases loaded, NO OUT jam in the first inning, there was no panic in his game. He dug deep and struck three hitters out in a row to get out of it unscathed. That’s the kind of battle that makes this team special.
🐅 TOTAL TEAM EFFORT
This championship took everybody.
From Noah Foraker’s walk-off hit, to Ryder earning Tournament MVP, to Jace going the distance in the championship, to huge contributions throughout the lineup and ESPN worthy defensive highlights— these boys continued to answer every challenge put in front of them.
They won with offense.
They won with pitching.
They won with defense.
They won the close games.
They won with their backs against the wall.
And when it was time to play for a championship…
THEY FINISHED THE JOB. 🏆
4–0. PERFECT GAME SUNDAY SERIES CHAMPIONS.
