LVBA 17u-Elite team off to great start in Marietta, Georgia...

Our LVBA 17u-Elite team has started 2-0 in the Perfect game 17u National Championship Tournament in Marietta, Georgia, in a venue that has over 200 teams playing and just as many college scouts attending (with Pro scouts mixed in, too)...

Game 1 was Tuesday as LVBA defeated Utah Baseball Academy 10-2, with Eric Snyder throwing just 63 pitches in getting the win...Wes Baylor homered for LVBA...

Baylor continued his good start to the tourney by getting the win on Wednesday on the hill as LVBA defeated the Tri-State Arsenal 9-3...

This is what our entire program is building towards for all the kids here at the younger age groups, and that is, a chance to play on THIS team, on a National stage, in front of over 200 scouts at this tournament...

This tournament is where Tyler Vail got seen last summer and his stock went from unknown to top college and possibly a pro prospect as it took Dylan Dando an hour to get from the field to the bus after the game Vail threw in Georgia as about 40 scouts stopped him on the way to the bus for information on Vail...
