The Canes rode the arm of Jake Cave today in the Quarters to advance to the Final 4 against Chet Lemon's Juice. Cave struck out 9 in 4 innings against Marucci Elite.

Congratulations to the Canes. Saw them there, and they were a powerful force to be reckoned with as always. This group of young men have accomplihsed a great deal over hte past few years. Good luck to all as they advance to the next level(s).
Now THAT is impressive. Awesome to see some VA boys right in the thick of things down there as the cream is rising to the top in the best high school aged baseball tournament in the world.
Other than Cave, Thompson, Beal, and Sborz (the VA kids on the Canes roster who've already committed to big time colleges), are there any other VA boys with the current team down there?
Regardless, good luck to all of them tomorrow!

Good luck Canes!
Perfect Game website indicates the Canes lost in the semis. Also noticed that Cave picked up two wins during the tournament.
Dirtbags and Juice declared Co Champions after 3-3 tie 9 innings. Flights to catch and school to go back to. Sounds like another oustanding event put on by PG.
Agreed although I wish they would seed the teams after the initial games or pool play.

Funny to think our 16U Canes North run ruled the Co-champs this summer with Sborz carrying a no hitter into the 6th.
This makes the second time in recent years where The Juice had to share the title !
Congrats to both organizations

Maybe Andy will give you part of his Trophy then. lol
Interesting that two "soft tossers" got these teams through the semi-final games.

Yeah...as soon as it snows in August.
Dickens is nasty. He is a submarine guy that can really pitch. His ball gets on you really quick and he is a ground ball machine. Everything he throws sinks and moves a ton. He is almost impossible to lift unless he gets the ball up. I think he may top out at 84. ECU got a gem when they picked up Dylan Dickens. The kid is going to give hitters fits at the college level.
Congratulations to the Canes on a great run!
Congrats to the Dirtbags for a great achievement!
I particularly congratulate all the soft-tossers, for whom I have a special affection. Last time I checked, the game is won by the team that gets to 21 outs first, while allowing the fewest runs ... not by how fast the players throw the ball.
I applaud all of the Players and Coaches for their success in what was a terrific and very competitive tournament.
