LIVE: Under Armour Southeast Regional Tournament

Becky Oldham: We're There

Today 35 teams of all-star high school baseball players and their friends and families gathered at the Roger Dean Sports Complex for the fourth annual Under Armor Southeast Regional Tournament. The defending champions, The Palm Beach PAL, are working towards another championship after beating the All American Prospects today 2-1. Day one was a success and the rest of the results from the first round can be found on the Team One Baseball website.

The Baseball Factory Navy Team faced a tough loss against the Florida Diamond Pro- Gold this on day one, but had some commendable plays by its players. Walker struck out Navarro and Sosa in the 1st inning with his 83/86 fastball and Robinson had a great throw to Ferguson to end the inning. Kyle Washington did outstanding in the 2nd inning with a line drive down the third base line and then stole second. Catcher, Jarod Silvers, was a noteworthy player who worked very well behind the plate consistently throughout the entire game. The team went on to lose, however, this group of talented young athletes worked well with each other considering they had just met 12 hours prior to the game.

Dylan Silva (Lake Worth, FL) started the first inning strong on the mound for the Baseball Factory Red Team, retiring the side including two strikeouts. However with the dangerous lineup of the Atlanta Blue Jays along with some untimely errors, the Blue Jays took a 4-0 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd. But, the Factory battled back. After Stephen Trail (Catonment, FL) took first after being hit by a pitch, Austin Barrois (Belle Chasse, LA) followed with an infield single. Next, Dylan Chayes (Oceanport, NJ) moved both runners into scoring position and Trail eventually scored from third on a pass ball to put the Factory on the board 4-1. Christian Ellis (Tuttle, OK) then followed with a single to left to score Barrois and the inning ended with a score of 4-2. However, the Factory was unable to contain the potent Blue Jays lineup as they ended up dropping their first game 10-2.

Stay tuned the rest of the week to see how the Baseball Factory teams fair, as well as the other 33 teams in the Under Armour Southeast Tournament.
