It’s time to recap the action from this past weekend and three different events.  The Bownet Elite Fastpitch Exposure Alliance Super Cup in Clearwater is up first!

In the 14U division at the Bownet Elite Fastpitch Exposure Alliance Super Cup in Clearwater, Florida. This event was filled with drama, surprises, and some serious softball skills on display. Buckle up, because we’re about to break it all down for you.

In the end, it was the Clearwater Bullets Schultheis who emerged as the champions. Now, let me tell you, these gals had quite the rollercoaster ride to get there. They started the tournament with a 0-3 record in the pool play. Ouch, that’s gotta sting. But hey, they didn’t let that get them down. They rallied, turned things around, and went a perfect 3-0 in the bracket play. Talk about a comeback, folks.

In the championship game, the Bullets faced off against Top Gun 14U National. It was a battle for the ages, a clash of the titans. And boy, did this game deliver. In the 5th inning, with the game on the line, Madison Smith stepped up to the plate and delivered a clutch single, knocking in two runs and giving the Bullets the lead. That’s what I call stepping up in the big moments, folks. Madison Smith, take a bow.

But the heroics didn’t stop there. Oh no, we had more drama in store. Taylor Tucker, who came in relief in the first inning, shut down Top Gun’s offense for the rest of the game. Not a single run was scored against her. That’s what I call lockdown pitching, folks. Taylor Tucker, you’re a rockstar on the mound.

Now, let’s give credit where credit is due. Krystyna Meyer from Top Gun had herself a solid game as well. She went 2-3 at the plate, with an RBI to boot. It’s always nice to see players stepping up and making an impact, even in a losing effort.

So, there you have it, folks. The Clearwater Bullets Schultheis are your 14U champions at the Bownet Elite Fastpitch Exposure Alliance Super Cup. They overcame a rocky start, made a comeback of epic proportions, and sealed the deal in the championship game. It was a thrill ride from start to finish, and these gals deserve all the applause.

Now, the HS division which was a battleground, filled with fierce competition and some serious talent. Let’s get right into the action and crown our champions.

In the end, Top Gun 18U National came out on top, hoisting that coveted championship trophy. They faced off against the Santa Fe Inferno – Nowling in the final, and boy, did they bring the heat. The final score was 5-2 in favor of Top Gun, and they left no doubt about their dominance.

Leading the charge for Top Gun was none other than Grace Shaw-Rockey. This gal was on fire, going 2-3 at the plate with a double and a whopping 3 RBI. Talk about a game-changing performance. Summer Horn also had a solid day at the plate, going 2-3 with an RBI. These gals were locked in and ready to take on anyone who dared to stand in their way.

On the other side, Santa Fe’s Grace Jones did her best to keep her team in the game. She went 1-3 at the plate with an RBI, showing some fight in the face of Top Gun’s dominance. J’Lyn Guyden and Marissa Burchard also collected hits, trying to make things happen for their squad.

But alas, it wasn’t enough to overcome the firepower of Top Gun. They were simply too strong, too determined to be denied. They put on a show, leaving the crowd in awe of their skills.
