Lakeland Florida for the 45th annual Florida athletic coaches association Allstar Classic series featuring the best players in the State of Florida for baseball and softball we’re going to bring you live action today tomorrow Friday and Saturday right here on the Golf Coast Sports Network ready to get things going right now let’s take things down to the field for Eric White to get things started Eric welcome everyone here on Golf Coast Sports Network I’m Eric White here down in Sunny Central Florida at Florida Southern College in Lakeland we have a special broadcast for you all today as we have a great opport Unity to call the 45th annual faca Allstar Baseball Classic here at historic Henley field to witness the next up and cominging Baseball Superstars of the Future these young men have worked so hard to be in the position they are in today if they have been selected and recognized as being one of the best of the best in their region and have a great opportunity to showcase their talents to college and professional Scouts from across the country not only do we have the presence of the best athletes in the state but also the top coaches in the state with incredibly successful backgrounds but before we get into today’s broadcast let’s take a moment to recognize the faca and their commitment and efforts to host this All-Star game for the 45th consecutive year the faca stands for the Florida Athletics coaches association which was established in 1936 the faca adopted total control of the allstar program in 1979 after the Florida High School Athletic Association withdrew their sanctions from the allstar games the faca currently sponsors All-Star events for majority of the high school sports here in Florida including football boys and girls basketball boys and girls cross country boys and girls soccer baseball flag football tennis softball and volleyball the faca is led by executive director Shelton Cruz he’s finishing up his 14th years executive director and here with me now none other than the man himself Mr Shelton Cruz good afternoon how you doing Mr Cruz today good thank you thanks for having us no problem no problem problem first just want you to kind of explain more into detail about your role as executive director and the impact that the organization has on the State of Florida well one thing I’m very proud to to say that uh I’m only the fourth executive director in the history of our association and uh thankfully two of us two of the four are still alive and I’m in constant contact with uh with my immediate predecessor so uh been a been a great 14 years um looking forward to the next 14 and what does this game mean not only to the organization itself but to everybody involved well you know this is kind of the catch meow of our of organization it ends up the year winds up the year of our Allstar events uh it’s always been uh well attended it’s been a hot ticket item uh if a major league player from the state of Florida uh is playing and playing in in the major leagues they probably played in this game so it’s just uh a lot of the great ones have played here and we also know we have a couple of rule changes here that are different from a regular regular High School scansion game can you kind of explain some of the rule changes we have here today in this All-Star Game well the one thing is we we don’t keep a lineup you know so the umpires don’t have to worry about that we don’t have to worry about a book uh we put them in groups of three to hit and they hit they’ll hit one group will hit for three outs and the next group will hit for three outs and the next group hit three outs it just circulates around uh kind of develops a little rhythm and everybody seems to get a few more back that’s uh where that’s concerned pitchers only pitch two innings uh and it’s free substitution uh you’ll see kids coming and going you know every few Innings or whatever the uh the rotation basis they’ve worked out so all righty and there you have it Mr Shelton Cruz executive director of the faca we thank you for having you here today and we hope you have a great day you guys enjoy the broadcast and let’s get ready to play ball Eric White from uh Golf Course Sports Network back up to you guys will thank you Eric we’re ready to get underway and thank you to Mr Shelton Cruz executive director of the Florida athletic

their their program so special and also getting a chance to to uh watch the Players and and watch them go about their workouts and how they handle their business it was just really such a treat to see

be today this is such a a an honor and a blessing to be able to experience this you know it especially you know what a perfect venue will my goly here we are at historic henleyfield was the uh former home Tiger Town going all the way back to 1929 uh was the spring home spring training home for the uh tigers for decades and you know when you think about the famous players that have uh walked through these same portals and walked on the same field well my go it gives you Goosebumps that’s right you have all those fantastic players of the past but we were looking at the future here today absolutely and uh these players have certainly earned their status being some of the best in the State of Florida uh we’ve got players playing in college we’ve got some players with uh some draft MLB draft potential on the field today as well so uh just wonderful Talent all the way around it’s our second consecutive year doing these games and I got to tell you it’s uh something that we trust here at the Golf Coast Sports Network it’s just a thrill to see uh the talent on display here today it’s really a thrill too because we’re surrounded by Scouts you know and it it’s really kind of cool to me to look around and see all the different polos with the uh the different organization names on them and stuff it’s like wow you know these players just have to be so excited and you know when you think about it these young men have played probably what since they’re four years old at least and you know spring summer fall it’s it’s true dedication watching them do their infield Outfield pregame warm-ups and stuff my golly there is just a lot a lot of Talent on the field today and we’ve got a front row seat and hopefully we’re going to be able to bring it to you and and uh give you a chance to enjoy seeing baseball at a very high level for high [Music] school and it looks like we’re getting ready for the public address player announcements so we’ll turn it over to him and take it down to the field FAA allar are being atlf network.org the FAA reminds you that Scholastic events are expens of the classroom that lesson are best learn what proper respect is accorded to all please as we’re going to start off with the South Squad players will be wearing their High School jerseys today allar the allar first visitors SAS number one number sou number five Cory R from Western number six number number 24 jul number 25 from number 27 Danel Bravo from 2 [Music] and now the on the score West all stast number [Music] one number from number three [Music] number from numbero [Music] Street e number 18 from number 19 from number [Music] 207 Durant 27 roll assard and we’d like to thank Eric and will down there on the field for those great player shots during the introductions we’re now going to pause for the national anthem for [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Music] all right here we go Rick let’s play some ball so we do have the as mentioned during the the pregame interview with uh executive director Shelton Cruz the team’s hitting pods so it’s going to be a little bit unconventional today we’re going to try to keep up the best we can with our Graphics system which is more tailored toward a traditional ball game uh Additionally the uh the pitching the pitching rotation isn’t really going to be a rotation they’re just going to kind of come out uh as a as needed so there is a two-inning cap for each pitcher and uh some some teams have a set rotation some don’t so we’re going to try to get that set up here and it looks like um for the West going to try to see who this isal okay that would be Walton going to be Wade Walton from new the Divinity Med Spot going to get the start on the mound good looking good looking young man will he’s uh listed as 65 210 looks like he’s definitely got a nice popping fast ball and from the lineup card that we received looks like TJ gristy is going to lead things off Walton from the stretch and the first pitch offering is going to miss away ball one outside and we’re underway gry from North Broward pep prep easy for me to say 59 160 is a catcher and that’ll connect even things up it’s a great pitch painted the outside corner on that wow that was a nice change of speeds really got the batter out on the front leg count runs even did a nice job picking that up out of the funnel and the two two slow to run it full another one of the uh differences with we apologize for the wind in center field there with our camera that one gets fouled away wow that was impressive he went change up 3-2 another one of the rule changes um in this All-Star Game format is if the player walks the count will actually reset to two and one we’ll see if that’ll be a factor here ground ball over to Second that’s going to be coralled and tossed over to First for out number one love the job there with the second baseman he picked the ball up off the bat squared his body to make him nice routine play so key to to have good fundamentals and footwork and uh we’re going to see a lot of great fundamentals today will it’s going to bring up Devon Fitzgerald bows that one away Fitzgerald’s a member of the uh very successful stonan Douglas team now uh they won their fourth state championship in a row this year his dad Todd is the uh head coach and they’ve built quite a program they’ve won St seven state championships in the last nine years that’s insane so impressive hard hit ball to right that’s going to drop in go to the fence he’s gone for two he’s going to get there easily and a standup double for Fitzgerald going to bring up Ryland L Hill it’s Gerald with that double he’s committed to North Carolina State and a big distinction uh there Rick he’s one States all four years of high school did Devon luo will take a strike one outside tar Hills are going to be getting a gem you say NC State or North Carolina NC State oh okay all right he’s going to be a member of the wolf pack it’s going to be fouled down that Third Base Line that was a hot shot Walton with the look and then the offering that gets fouled away out of play on the us98 coach Richard benav is from South dat is working the third base coaching box today Chopper over to third he’s going to give a look and fire to First in time for out number two nice job number with the Run Dyson Joseph Dyson’s committed to Barry University and one of his b best high school memories there Rick is hitting a home run in the Regional Championship H that would do it certainly something that uh you’ll remember offering will miss away one ball one strike two outs to the inning one of the neat things you know before the game is is watching The Players interact with each other a lot of these guys have been Rivals now for four years different schools and now they’re best of buds you can tell the respect runs deep on each Squad that’ll Miss inside hitters count now for Joseph Walton’s got some work to do as he looks to battle back and that’ll be ball four and as a reminder the rule the um count will reset to two and one and looks like they’re putting in a courtesy Runner yeah the courtesy Runner will take the base the batter will finish the at bat with a 2-1 count so if there’s a walk a second time around then an additional Runner will take the base how about that big cut Walton able to get it by that fast ball had some life on it and that’ll run the count full see if he goes with that fast ball away again will and that’ll be swing to miss strike three and that’ll do it for the top of the first the move to the home half we’ll be back right after [Music] this one of the reasons we’ve been so successful at Divinity Med Spa is because we understand what people are looking for they want to look rested refreshed good for their age we can accomplish this by treatments such as Botox filler lasers and an array of facials all by a team of trusted experts this is Divinity Hernando County’s only locally owned and operated metpa come see us we can’t wait to meet you [Music] [Music] okay who do we got on the mound here Rick it’s number 41 I don’t see any on any 41s on our uh list oh it’s going to be like it’s going to be Anthony ciscar from St Thomas and he’s going to get the start on the mound Cory giner to lead things off and he’ll take the first pitch strike outside corner Cesar is listed as a 63 215 PB cisar quickly out of front 02 he’s from St Thomas high school and it’s going to be a drop third throw down to complete the strikeout it’s going to bring up Alex espat big cut cisar able to get that by checks that up but uh look like he went around no it looks like he held up yeah they called it a swing check the run on that one wow that was a great pitch he totally handcuffed the batter fast ball in his hands Chopper over to third fires over to First nice scoop 5 to three for the ground out out number two pick and machine and a little bit about our pitcher Anthony ciscar he’s committed to the University of Miami he’s going to be a hurricane and his best high school memory was winning the first district Championship pitching seven Innings and giving up just one run on three hits wow that’s impressive and he’s also getting it done off the field as well he’s been a Broward scholar athlete of the Year by the Miami heral great job Anthony ciscar right now he’s facing off against Kendall Hoffman gets fouled off or it looks like he got hit with that one I missed that one Rick what happened on that one uh ended up going inside again but just missed caught the uh the batter in the uh back of the front arm around the tricep area I don’t think it was too bad probably just that’s going to put a runner on continue the atat and it’s going to go to a 2-1 count correction it looks like he took his base no he he returned to hit okay they have a courtesy runner at first count goes to 3-2 runners in motion hard hit ball to left and that’s going to be caught at the warning track wow and that’ll be out number three puts an end to the first nothing nothing is our score it’s going to take us to the second got more great action coming up on the Golf Coast Sports Network you stick with

the classroom a student athlete making the honor rooll and that’s going to catch the inside corner Walton will get the strike out that was a big big pitch what a quality Bender right on the inner half and that’s going to miss away we have it as EJ burns up next Chopper over to short up with a beautiful toss over to First nice acrobatic play six to three for out number two and this game is moving along quick Rick it sure is these pitchers are making quality pitches and really challenging the hitters he going to bring up Jacob petto now enjoying watching Walton work from mon senior Pace High School he’s committed to Florida athletic Florida Atlantic University fouls that one away and out of play tries to model his game after Francisco Lindor he admires the emotion that he plays with and is always smiling they’re also both from Puerto Rico and Switch Hitters and one of the things that he’s most proud of is getting inducted to the National Honors Society certainly a big- Time accomplishment Jacob job well done in the classroom huge honor indeed it’s going to run the count 02 now we apologize uh our program reset it Walt Walton is still in the game we’re going to get that changed right now there we go we’re having to do some creative work with our program since we are geared towards the more traditional uh baseball setup that’s going to be on the outside quarter and Walton with a highly efficient inning puts an end to the top half of the second nothing nothing is still our score and we move to the home half nothing nothing you’re watching the faca high school

yeah he was there though ready to make the play it’s a nice pitch might be a setup pitch he elevated up and away so as a reminder we’re going to have the in the third inning we’re going to be checking

leading off the inning is Going to Be EJ Burns bows that one Away Great pitch just missed away take a quick moment and compliment count goes to two balls two strikes compliment the plate umpire his Strike Zone has been terrific today and that’ll be strike three one out to the inning a great pitch he painted it right on the outside corner it’s going to bring up TJ gristy [Music] and that drops in the zone that was nice looked like a bit of a slider started out at the batter and broke away I’m impressed by the plate discipline and strik Zone awareness of all of the Batters today not many of them are are really going on a fishing trip expanding their Zone Chopper thir it up with it fires over to first and that’s going to be out number two he going to bring up Devin Fitzgerald he’s got the lone hit of the afternoon he just turned into a web gem play at Shortstop on that last last out of the inning we’re going to be taking it down to the South Dugout in the beginning of the bottom half of the inning for interview with uh Coach [Music] Fitzgerald our broadcaster Eric White will be bringing us that interview hard Fly ball to deep center field oh he hit that it’s going to one hop the fence it’s Gerald’s going to motor on to Third oh no like uh fortunately looks like a hamstring certainly hope that he’s all right we uh fortunately he’s up and he’s able to walk around certainly happy to see him walking off on his own power he’s a tough [Applause] kid you know you don’t like to see the injury Rick but uh shows that he loves baseball right there here it is an All-Star Game and he’s he’s leing one out yeah it’s great to see that passion I don’t think there’s an ounce of quitting that young man he was thinking three coming right out of the box and he just crushed that ball so they’re going to put a runner on third I believe yeah that would that be a gristy so he’s got a double and a triple to his line today not a bad day now number and a couple web Jem defensive plays as well Ryan Lil is going to step in let’s see if the South can find a way to get this run in Chopper over to short Miss made good effort an RBI for Ryland lho Mark that as a single as well that was a tough play yeah shortstop had to had to uh range to his hand side which is always difficult he tried to round it off but he wasn’t able to get the throw on and in time pull the first baseman off who tried to make the the sweeping tag and just missed the runner credit to the runner though he’s going to bring up Dyson Joseph now he hustled up the line biggest part is he pushed that run across to give his team the lead Runners breaking thr on to Second catcher throw is offline so the runners in safe so the South starting to put something together here in the top of the third they plated one have another runner in scoring position two outs in the inning one ball one strike count to Dyson [Music] Joseph Pops that one up in foul territory and it will go out I love watching The Players looking for the little things you can tell the runner on second base is looking in trying to pick up the signs to see if he can get a breaking ball or something he might be able to steal third on with two outs he’s pretty safe going on contact here also fed away batter’s right on it again uh Walton is out of the ball game we don’t have a number for this player so we’re not sure who’s pitching at the moment but uh Wade Walton concluded his time on the mound at the end of the second and that’s going to be a check swing strike three to end the inning and take us to the bottom of the Third sou able to put something together they’re on the board W will get their chance coming up next on the Golf Show Sports Network [Music] welcome to the clubhouse Tampa Bay’s Premier baseball and softball

one and we’ve got a special treat coming up here let’s take it on down to uh Eric White who’s uh interviewing Coach Fitzgerald coming off his fourth consecutive state championship coach just tell me a little bit how do you stay consistent throughout all these years um honestly I think it’s just that the players we have in the program and our system and and and our coaches the way we develop our guys uh you know over time from from from when they’re freshman of becoming seniors so just got really good culture and and we have high standards that we that we try and uh coach by and live by so and explain what it means to not only for yourself but to represent the school and your plays as well what does it mean for you to be here uh to represent stman Douglas and yourself uh at a game of this magnitude well obviously I think this is the best State all-star game there is you got some really high caliber players here representing four different regions Northeast South and West and to be able to have a player here and represent our school says a lot about the type of players that we have and uh the type of type of careers that they can have moving forward this is a this is a heavily scouted event uh they do a great job here and the faca doesn’t doesn’t just wow that was a really impressive sequence finished him up well obviously I’m I’m going to shout out boys R luo Nico benad Deon Fitzgerald and Jaden duano it’s on the mound some local guys back home EJ Burns um just just just Anthony cisar just our entire South team but more importantly it’s the coaches that that give their time to to coach in this game and and to be around the players and interact and you know you build relationships and you and you follow them for the rest of their careers and uh hopefully they do good things moving forward yes sir well we appreciate your time coach for Gerald and good luck thank you have a good one back to you guys W and broadcast thank you very much Eric and thank you to Coach Fitzgerald for his time so now looking at a one ball one strike count so up to bat is Joshua castellani from Hollands High School 65 210 infielder definitely has a baseball build what a big time pitch that’s going to get called on the outside corner for swing to miss strike three and put an end to the inning so the West gets on the board first and we advance to the fourth inning one to nothing the south over the West don’t go anywhere we’ll be back you’re watching The Golf Coast Sports network box out gives you the ability to create Graphics at the speed of sports to highlight your athletic department teams and student athletes in seconds used and trusted by Notre Dame Ohio State Yukon Marquette Georgetown and many more of the top college brands in the country if you want your school’s brand to stand out through all the Clutter start your free demo at box outsports.com one of the reasons we’ve been so successful at Divinity MedSpa is because we understand what people are looking for they want to look rested refreshed good for their age we can accomplish this by treatments such as Botox filler lasers and an array of facials all by a team of trusted experts this is Divinity Hernando County’s only locally owned and operated Med Spot come see us we can’t wait to meet you so we’re in the top of the fourth inning and we were able to get confirmation on the the pitcher for the West it’s Trey Lawrence who’s been in and he’s pitching his second inning of action now I’m looking I’m hoping that uh Daniel Bravo comes back out and pitches another inning for the believe this is benestad who’s leading off oh oh my I don’t think that got him but that definitely got his attention yeah too close for comfort that’s for sure I think he was counting the stitches on that fouls that one back wind is blowing out today to uh left center field great pitch just missed on the bottom nice change up two one count now it brings it back to even and the two- two offering from Lawrence and that’ll miss a way to run it full is having a really nice bad here it’s fouled away all right ball force and now we start out two and one and the uh courtesy Runner will take his position and a big cut laen able to get it by to run the count even pitcher’s got a lot of late movement on this ball and making it difficult for the Batters to pick up slow roller to Third and five to three for the out it’s interesting to me that a lot of the balls hit up the third base line of actually the the grass seems like it’s really kind of eaten it up and slowed it down it’s made it very very challenging for the third Bas but he’s been making plays yeah as dry as it’s been uh you you wouldn’t expect you’d expect it to be a faster infield absolutely EJ Burns now up to bat one ball one strike one out one to nothing is our score Chopper over to third one hops it unable to make the scoop at first yep was rolled just foul so foul ball on that play and burns will get another crack at it third baseman Josh Bella is getting a workout today that one gets fouled off please disregard the pitch counts that we have we weren’t aware of lence isn’t wearing a number today so we weren’t aware of him on the mount until uh the beginning of this inning so he’s certainly pitched more than 11 again that gets fouled off graded bat and that’ll Miss inside runs the even and the 22 from Lawrence will miss inside runs it full payoff pitch for lawrenson burns one out runner board scoring position for the for the South looking to add to their one to nothing lead Chopper to third again and they’ll make the play young man’s had some Tes that certainly been the Hot Corner today both in temperature and action and he’s been getting the job done Jacob petto now steps in doing it for a impressed by him just watching warm up big cut by petto Lawrence able to get it by I love how the pitch using both Corners elevating he needs like you took a little bit off of that one yeah great pitch change up on the outside corner really show a lot of Point not afraid to pitch to contact the O2 misses away tried to get petto to Chase he wasn’t having it but a good option on that o02 and that catches the outside corner great placement for strike three that’s going to take us to the bottom of the fourth sou still holds a one to nothing Lead You Got faca High School action on the Golf Coast Sports Network I’m an avid golfer been you know golf usually weekly play a lot with my wife with the repetitive motion as you know with a lot of golfers it’s an unnatural motion that you put your body through after suffering for years with shoulder pain Mike chose stem cell therapy as an alternative to surgery I’m just excited because patients that have been paining for years that are now doing the things that they want to do and Mike’s just going to be adding to that list call Aligned integrative medicine for examine x-rays to see if you qualify for stem cell treatment I went through the VFW I went through the American Legion and they I felt they couldn’t help me and you know I got in touch with Chris and he got right to work on it and I’d say within a year I had 100% disability [Music] see3 IMG so we’re back to the bottom of the fourth inning West is going to get another crack at it try to get into the get into the Run column Daniel Bravo returns to the mound for the South excuse me I love how craft this young man is on the hill he’s a lot of fun to watch believe this is tarez great pitch on the outside and a little bit about Trey Lawrence the West pitcher since um we had that mixup with the the jersey number so he’s graduating from Peto high school he’s committed to the University of Missouri it’s going to be a tiger and he hit a walk-off home run a three-run home run at Leon park down in Sarasota and his favorite player is Derek Jeter because of his athleticism and his comfort to use all sides of the field over the course of his career and not only a great pitcher there Rick but uh great in the classroom graduating with a 4.0 GPA great job Trey Lawrence that’s impressive you know will it was funny years ago I’d gone to a coaching clinic and I was talking to one of the uh most successful D1 college coaches at the time and I was telling them about this sophomore that I had that was uh just a Phenom hitting 509 you know the very first question he asked me were how are his grades so that should be a lesson to all upcoming high school athletes Trey lawren steps in he’s going to take col strike one you’ve got to be a star in the classroom as well as on the field grounder over to Second and the play is made nobody know C did not on that one yeah umpire rolled no swing this young man doesn’t have a number on his jersey so we’re going to try and get his name for you momentarily two and0 get up the middle looks like the mound took a little off of that one good attempt at second but can’t come up with it broke is bad on that one will but it’ll be the first hit of the afternoon for the West very difficult play for the second baseman he had to end up ranging to his hand side and it took him away from the Vol moment he had to make an off balance throw big cut apologies that’s Andrew Tess that stepped in it’s fouled away out of play it’s interesting watching Bravo’s Tess is committed to the University of Pittsburgh he’s goingon going to head up and play for Panther baseball the best high school memories winning the state championship in 2023 and he’s going to single that into left field he’s going to be up there in the land of yinzers and the Stillers uh but he’s learned sign language uh so another non-baseball accomplishment and a unique one that one for Andrew test uh learning sign language great job that’s awesome kudos to that young man my wife’s from outside of Pittsburgh so I need to educate that young man I hope he likes polish and Italian food believe that’s castellani that’s in now nice pitch you know well who the pitcher reminds me a lot of is uh with this delivery is Jack strong from wey watchy covered number of jacks games this year he’s a bright young young uh uh I guess next year he’ll be a senior now good goly you’ve covered him through his entire career very similar delivery grounder up the middle force made at second nice job to retire the side so the West threatens but they’re not able to capitalize still one nothing move to the fifth after [Music] this preparing for that next step in life isn’t always easy at Nautilus Financial Group our combination of experience professionalism and

this pain for another day oh he’s pitching mhm and Hoffman the B to the West number three Kendall Hof so Kendall Hoffman’s going to take over on the mound for the West hofman’s list in the program 67 175 he’s a product of seminal High School playing for his coach today right out of pelis Florida this is so exciting to see all these all this young Talent on the field I’m enjoying every moment Pops that one up upside and that will drop believe this is Burns I just misses fast ball away and down actually uh may not be Burns because it’s the uh it’s the Jersey from this morning so we apologize yeah apologize it’s difficult because they players got warm-up jerseys that were provided um and they had colors for their respective a St teams and then game time then they switched over to their actual uh high school team jerseys and the numbers don’t always coincide so I believe this might be r War Burns so there was the walk on the play I think the run on will reset the two and one [Music] over oh my throw was a little high he might have had him nice attempt not sure if that was a hit and run or a run and hit but you almost put it in play going to take a two two Chopper over to Second and that’s going to get through that was a tough one second baseman was thinking double play all the way but grass really slowed that thing down killed the momentum which made it difficult with your players you always teach your players in a double play situation make sure that you get one one way or the other one gets fouled off I believe we’re back to grasty now count quickly goes 02 South is trying to put some pressure on here maybe get an insurance run or two shot for the third once again and that’ll get the out at first Mr automatic Runners will advance to second and third respectively one of the things I love about third baseman is that he does such a great job of getting a great hop luo steps in he’s got the only RBI of the day but he’s quickly down 02 Hoffman looking for that punch out pitch trying to get out of a little bit of a jam here blo trying to capitalize for the South that one gets fouled off and we got a little bit behind in the count now we’re all caught up oh that was a big time pitch called strike three bring up Dyson Joseph and quickly 02 Hoffman jumps out ahead Joseph SE uh 6 6′ 185 lb right-hander from M senior pace and the toss down will have to be made and it’s done so the West threatens and but they’re not able to capitalize it’ll take us to the bottom of the fifth inning still one to [Music] nothing one of the reasons we’ve been so successful

the middle oh took a bad hop there wow that thing had some serious overspin usually right on the lip there too Rick usually second hops lower and faster but that one must have hit something because it ended up skipping right over shortstop shoulder Jordy Guerrero now steps in Guerrero from Island Coast High School great pitch just missed on the inside lead off run on nobody out opportunity for the West that one gets fouled away out of play and we got an interesting tidbit of information there Rick uh during the break that we actually have a faca All-Star Game Alum behind the plate now playing in the games in 2009 that is so cool to be able to to play in and then come back and contribute how can you not be be romantic about this game and that’ll run the count full three balls two strikes payoff pitch for gray and Guerrero and that’ll be Ball Four the runners will advance to Second and we’ll get that runner at first count will reset to two and one per the All-Star game rules wish I had a gun because this pitcher’s definitely got some nice velocity that’s gray Matteo gray on the mount get that one by yeah that was moving I’ve got to guess he’s somewhere in the mid 90s tries for that outside corner just misses yeah took a little off of that too just missed off speed again I’m guessing I’m going to say the fast Ball’s probably 93 94 maybe out speed again towards the hole going to take the force at third great heads up play by short tell you what that’s really heads up baseball the third Bas was it in other situation it would have been his ball but he knew that he had to get back home credit to the shortstop being able to to get over and cover oh it’s still one on two out John embery steps in broken bat foul territory but that will drop okay oh wow what a big pitch that thing just disappeared off the bottom of the Zone gray with a look towards second now he’ll offer the onew one gets fouled away again interesting watching the pitcher delivery he hides the ball really well it’s hard to pick up until it’s right off his hand and that’ll be high embry’s committed to Florida Golf Coast University and one of the best non-baseball accomplishments that he’s had is taking a Michigan trip to the Dominican Republic oh my certainly appreciate all the service that that young man’s done going to try to turn two on this one the throw is Off the Mark and the first run of the ball game for the West will come in so Embry will get the runner in and he’ll be safe at first Jaden Harr steps in Ariel’s from East Lake take first pitch high for ball one nice fast ball upstairs harriel committed to Florida Atlantic University uh his best high school baseball memory is winning the 6A District but the most uh the best non-baseball accomplishment he’s proud of is getting that 4.1 GPA when he graduated the here great job that’s awesome I love the stars in the classroom and you’re going to like those two he models his game after mukie Betts CU he likes how he transitioned from infield to Outfield and Harel just loves his swing who doesn’t really yeah probably the opposing pitchers he’s got such a a good fast ball I’d like to see him go with that more Chopper over to third take the four second for out number three and that’s going to take us to the seventh the West has tied things up all not up in one we’ll be back after this [Music] he [Music] [Music] [Music] oh for so new pitcher in for the West it’s going to be Troy Guthrie [Music] and we apologize we don’t have a jersey number for the the batter Fly ball to deep center field caught at the warning track

first base and he’s a left-handed pitcher from Flanigan High School chopped over to the first takes it unassisted from mathur number three Tyler Smith Tyler Smith steps in and he’s able to beat that one out Smith has a good bit of good bit of speed so always loved having fast teams you put a lot of extra pressure on on the uh defense shortstop made nice play made a really nice strong throw just took him little the first base a little bit off and we don’t have a um a jersey number for this batter he’s wearing the uh the warm-up shirts from this morning sh three misses high and inside pitcher’s got really good velocity chop fou going be interested in seeing if this Runner goes anywhere catcher in a one KNE down stance grounder over to Second and the force at first will retire the

notched up at one got great pitching and a lot of great defensive efforts so far solid contact but when you have talent this you know this caliber you know you really got to put on a show with the bat to try to get a hit on this and that’s what we’ve seen today one run on three hits for both squads got a new pitcher in for the South Raphael perza now steps in you know one of the things that that you have to keep telling yourself will is that these guys have never played together unless they happened to have been on travel team you know one or two guys but for the most part these guys haven’t played together and and they’re just really making it work I mean they’re just so well coach they they act like they’ve been playing for a long time I it’s really cool seeing all these big Power arms and just humping it up there here it is come get it all right Works himself into a 2-1 count that’s going to catch that outside corner runs the count even two or two wind and the offering is going to miss high inside take us to a Full Count Tex on that one keeps it alive genser is having himself really nice at bat 32 count here and that’ll be swing to miss strike three nice job way to elevate with two strikes P did a nice job really nice job changing locations and planes Jason Bella one for one today he’s put on a clinic at third base two and0 oh got him looks like that caught him I hope that his guard came down that far he’s got a guard on his elbow so that’s going to put a runner on first but they will continue the at bat taking the count now to two and one oh my tough luck started a runner in motion hopefully trying to put together a hit and run get the runner first third getting a little later in the game they’re trying to manufacture run tie this thing up yeah at this point they’re playing they’re playing for pride my apologies it’s tied already some how I missed one in all the excitement count full now payoff pitch for persa and Bellow If Only They had a scoreboard I could look at well well it is red on red I’ve had some a little bit of trouble with it myself it’s difficult picking up in the sunshine great hands 463 double play nice work two retired the side but before we do I’d like to thank you for having me on as the play play broadcaster for today’s game going to hand things over now to Brian lot who’s going to take us home for the remainder of the broadcast all right so we don’t [Music] have oh [Music] [Music] a [Music] all right Rick we’re here in the top half of the eighth Inn here glad to be able to join the Guff Coast Sports Network here uh did make it a little late but uh be here for the duration of the this game and the next game coming up yeah coming up to bat we’ve got Cory Rodriguez Cory from bradoock high school and he just turned in a beautiful play at second base that’s a called strike I just I was just really really enjoying watching how that worked he showed really really quick hands great footwork to to be able to make that pivot to second base ball comes in high one and one young man can play swing and a miss it runs a count one and two little flare hit to right field going to fall in for a base hit that was a sweet piece of hitting my goly you know he pulled the string on that pitch got him with off speed on the front side young man did a great job though just getting the bat on it and hit a little flare he did do a great job great two strike approach there little flare on the outside and dropped it off there to right field to get the lead off runner on base here in the top half of the eighth inning that young man really impresses me up to bat number two ball hit off the pitcher Greg cin hit the ball off of the pitcher’s glove how about that yeah so they ended up ended up uh starting the runner up so it moved the second baseman created a hole terrific job of situational hitting he hit it right to the hole and that’s Troy Guthrie there at pitcher now up to bats the 22 mate gray so we got bases got excuse me got Runners on first and second nobody out gray at the plate a one count that fast ball catches the outside corner for call strike one one and one it’s going to be a good matchup here power against Power it looks like gray should does have lots of power there oh [Music] yeah that ball comes in high two and one we used to say in the old days he cornfed big boy that’s exactly right and that he is yeah I grew up in the sticks could you tell pop fly that’s a to center field called is made Runner tags up from second slides in safely to third fantastic readed great piece of hitting there by gray to get that Runner over to Third Base especially here in a tie ball game here nice nice job late so was able to defensively was able to hold that runner at first so we now have Runners at first and third with one out really interesting here you know it’s getting late in the game both teams want to win this thing for Pride nice pitch starts him out on the outside quarter yeah we do apologize not sure who the hitter is here but we do have a 01 count one out here that curveball misses outside even to count up one and one fouled out of play runs the count one and two you think if you’re the South you might get that Runner uh moving here from first base to try to I was just thinking that you know probably a good chance we might see something off speed here see if we start him up here they’d love to get him to second base to keep from having a double play to get out of the end especially with that runner on third base yep there he was and he’ll stand up that worked out for him tough pitch for the the catcher that was very very much you know high and in yep so now we got Runners at second and third two two count two two pitch and foul back out of play I just know batter’s collapsing his backside you notice that and it’s causing his Bat to get right under the ball if it’s elevated he dropping the back shoulder dropping the back hip check swing to short stop over to first for the out but not before the South could score a run here to break this tie open you got it done how about that huh it was a great job it was uh two two two two count more of a check swing but he did his job sir got the runner in so we do have a 2-1 ball game here south over the West I just just wonder if that was check swing or if it was just more of a of a punch shot and he knew very well could be yeah contact was going to end up bringing in the runner got a little flare here brings another one Bren Allison with a little flare out to left field base hit scores the second run of the inning for the South and they got the Maro round going here just nice situational hitting hitting for the team got a 3-1 ball gamei so that brings up number three Tyler Smith Ball’s po fly to second base Short Stop comes over calls for it and Records the third out of the inning so the West was able to get out but not before the South scored two runs we got a 3-1 ball game we’ll be back here in the bottom half of the eighth inning [Music] [Music] [Music] all right we’re here in the bottom half of the e ining trying to see who the pitcher is here number 10 Raphael Perez and pers from Dr crop High School 63 210 just in the program he returns for another inning oh oh close call there on the throw down that’s always scary no SW the bat is Jordy Guerrero swing and a miss strike one big cut another hard swing runs count ho and two a great job pitching right on the hands handcuffing him every time that one missed outside he decided to go outside change his visual plane a little bit see if they go back in on the hands again a one-w pitch yep just missed just a little missed just a little down so it’s a good pitch job great job by Guerrero lay off it runs a count two and two terrific discipline swing and a miss there strike three great job does my heart good to to see pitchers pitching inside again back when when we were playing that was a rule everybody works the outside now so up to bat now is number four John Embry that ball misses high on outside for ball one another one highing outside that ball catches the outside corner that was definitely two one pitcher pitch yeah pers has done a good job been keeping them off balance here inside and outside so be interesting to see what happens here ground ball to second base over to first for the second out of the inning you know Brian I’ve been so impressed by the infield play today these these infielders are just doing a masterful job of of reading the ball off the bat and getting their hop up to bat is number three Addie Scott Scott’s from Seth Christian first pitch came in high for ball one that ball misses on the inside runs a count two and0 it’s funny in a way I almost feel like this this pitch is effectively wild he is he is effective that’s a call strike two and one I agree with you cuz it seems like playing army here it’s right and left right left right left but absolutely he’s able to dot the corners and got a quick two outs here oh just missed just missed on great that runs to count three and one and he’s working Corners just masterfully another great pitch just misses down low ball four so they will put a courtesy runner on own first that was Scott will start back with a 2-1 count here and again big credit to both of our play umpires today their zones have been fair and very consistent they’ve been a joy to watch attempted pick off there at first runner gets back safe yeah I think that was kind of the B move just let him know he’s thinking about him ball Miss snap throw down the first trying to keep him close there that runs a count to three and one now he’s definitely in the driver’s seat with a runner on see if coach chittum gets anybody moving here that ball misses high and outside so he will walk to First on that one after the first walk great play discipline so we do have uh Runners at first and second now two outs is this giner had a quick little meeting there with a catcher and pitcher like Cory Gyer is coming up from St Pete Northwest left-handed bat foul ball left out of play Oh My if that would have dropped in that would have been money for his team left-handed bat defense is playing a a bit of a pull do have a pretty big foul area out here on both sides at a one count ball comes in high that’s a good mix one and one went upstairs let’s see what we get this time BR he expanded up swing and a miss one and two nice fast ball right on top of the Zone got him to chase great curveball there strike three for perza they end the bottom half of the eighth inning Wes was not able to score any runs so we’re moving to the top half of the ninth 3-1 ball game [Music] he [Music] [Music] [Music] C guys camera guys all right welcome back the top half of the night then and on the mound for the West is Cameron guys from sickles 61 180 lb right-hander going to try to keep the South off the scoreboard here we are in a ninth inning but this particular format we will be playing 10 Innings so stay tuned we’ll have uh two innings here left in this ball game a great Ernie Banks said it’s great day for baseball let’s play two stay tuned after this for our next broadcast of the second game that pitcher just missed on outside corner for a ball one is one of our unidentified players oh we have an unidentified yeah all right swinging a miss good cut there by 14 he just has his warm-up Jersey fast ball misses outside runs a count two and one that ball catches the outside bottom corner runs the count even two and two that curve ball just missed on the outside corner runs a count full three and two it’s nice pitch payoff pitch that ball misses outside Ball Four so the South will put a courtesy Runner on at first and we’ll reset the count two and one foul ball left side stayed in play but tough for the third baseman and left fielder to get to it it is a pretty big foul territory here in this ballpark on on either side so got a long ways to run so that even count up two and two foul ball out of play like they had a little hit and run going on there yeah started the Run R up got a pitched he could have drive with the hole vacated by the second basem but just got it in on his hands a little too much oh my a shot down the right field line but actually cleared the fence but was foul oh unfortunately that’s a long strike my golly his coach would have loved him for that one that was a shot though he did a great job of barreling that up just missed a foul pole by about 10 or 15 ft Runner steals catcher had a difficult time to getting the ball out of his glove yeah we got Runners at second base a 3-2 count nobody out catcher actually had to kind of dig that out of the dirt a little bit I was impressed he was still able to get the throw off the ground ball back to the pitcher over the first base to record the first out but he was able to move the runner to third with one out here comes up number five Devin croal be batting for the South to put a couple Insurance runs in here all is a student at MacArthur actually now a graduate I guess fast ball in inside corner for call strike one foul tip runs a count 0 and two Devin is committed to go play at the University of Dayton another great inside pitch on the knees just missed on the inside his favorite memory is throwing a no hitter throwing seven Tings with zero runs and and then walked it off yeah I think a no hitter would probably rank up there for one of my favorite memories that’s for sure got a two two count one out runner on third base all righty that a strike three two outs the top half of the ninth inning you know Bry fun fact about me is the only thing kept me from playing in the big leagues was the lack of talent the lack of talent yes sir foul back out of play well I would believe the kids are out on this field I think there’s a lot of talent that potentially be out there in the major leagues one day so every single one of them is just really put on the display today end of this game they need to go home with fine memories of of their play great pitch curveball there in zone oh got a 02 count this young man at the plate has turned in some absolute defensive gems today great pitch there fast ball com in high really impressed me with quick feet fast hands foul back out of play some schools going to get themselves a Dandy player next year not her not sure who this hitter is doesn’t have a number on their Jersey foul tip back to the back stop really nice job of fighting that off it was up in the way he had to protect that keeps the count one and two two outs runner at third didn’t have to do too much here anything in the grass is going to be money br inside there well I think we all have a pretty good idea where this next pitch is going to be not even as a count two and two yep he just missed now the advantage switches back to the hitter that’s what I love about this game is a chess match every single pitch 32 pitch missed away missed on the outside corner for ball four so all right we’ll put us a courtesy runner on First and we’ll have Runners at first and third two outs the 2-1 count that was a phenomenal blue collared bat that young man really showed T tremendous discipline and and strik Zone awareness he did I think he probably had three or four foul tips there yeah to be able to stay alive and continue fight to a walk love watching this young man play today oh drive just the short stop drove in a run drove in a run here great piece of hitting there that was impressive wish we knew who that kid’s name was but great job of hitting there for him fault and fault and fault and was able to get a hit so we got at first and second run scored a 4-1 ball game here two outs and we’ll try to see who’s up to bat would be Greg Kabam Cabana that ball is hit line drive base hits out to right field stand up double scores the runner from second base and yet another run we got a 5-1 ball game great piece of hitting there by he knew coming out of the box he was looking for two and I believe we we have a rotate out the inning so with that we have a 5-1 ball game looks like we’re going to be moving

having graduated best high school memory my senior year with the best group of teammates to be around every single day inside and outside of baseball that’s a foul ball out of play it runs a count one and two watch his release that was uh very very different he he that was an offspeed pitch in on the hands he’s got a very interesting release uh that time we see if he comes back with that and laid off that pitch even to count two and two his favorite MLB player is Jose Altuve he loves the way that he plays on the field and how he humbles he is call strike three that’s really interesting when he throws that off speed there’s something completely different about his release and it it just comes out of the tunnel different you know obviously the hitter can identify it but you have noidea idea where it’s going to go not sure we’ll figure out who the batter is we got a two- count though and one out bottom half of the ninth inning strike in there for call strike one believe it’s either count two and one Addie Scott or alexel we’ll try and get a clarification here that ball comes in low three and one that ball misses outside Ball Four we’ll put a courtesy runner on oh okay this is kzel yeah Alec kzel had a uh Ball Four walk and now he’s going to reset with a 2-1 count with a courtesy runner at first that ball comes in outside for ball three so three of one count one out runner at first that ball misses low and he will take his base here so that will give us Runners at first and second two quality that ball gets away from the catcher for ball one Runners advance to second and third with one out up to bat it’s number 13 Ryan Maggie Ryan Maggie’s out of Cypress Creek 6295 pounder you know Ryan I had I had the pleasure a couple of times of calling his games here uh this year

to West Virginia for a for a year so I was kind of giving them some of the tricks of the trade anytime you’re late for class you blame it on their PRT which is their little monoral system it’s always

corner called strike three tough luck there made a great pitcher pitch great pitch by gral you got two outs here in the inning the West really would love to would love to be able to get a base hit

High School memory is setting the home run record oh that would do it favorite player is Bryce Harper because of his passion love that I grew up in the Maryland area so naturally got to be a Bryce fan

finishing that pot F looks like it’s just almost out of play but great job by the third baseman looked like the sun was in his eyes but he was able to make that play great job record the first out of the inning yeah Maggie was on it I tell you I don’t envy him having to try and fight that sun that was brutal and what about the temperature here in the oh we’re not even we don’t we’re not even into June yeah I believe we could get out there on home plate and fry some eggs you know I’m I’m so glad we’re undercover oh that curveball just missed on the on the high side where ball one yeah they were talking about record temperatures today potentially in the up to up to around 100 wow swing in a miss so if we’re seeing 100 degree temperatures before June gets here I could only imagine what what July and August is going to be like oh he shot line drive to center field back goes the center fielder nice job reading that great job reading right that one record the second out of the inning you can tell he picked that up right off the bat he did phenomenal job tracking that great job getting behind the ball it’s just a joy to to watch games like this these these kids are all just so fundamentally sound and well coached they’re just a joy so up to bat number 22 Braden Allison fast ball Miss on the outside corner one and0 that fast ball connected one and one big pitch went there
