Georgia Raiders attend the Gwinnett Braves vs Louisville Bats Game

The Raiders took a much needed break from playing and practicing and went to WATCH the Gwinnett Braves play. The boys were treated to great box seats behind home plate. We also played in the inflatables area and enjoyed the food!!!!

The Raiders were highlighted onscreen during the game and got a visit from Chopper!

After the game the Raiders were able to speak with #7 Reid Gorecki. He signed the boys hats and gave his batting gloves to Miles & Peetee. Mr. Gorecki also gave the Raiders some valuable advice about being successful athletes.... "good grades, lots of practice, and having a positive attitude with teammates and coaches are key."

Thanks to our sponsor The Brand Banking Co. for giving us the opportunity to have some fun last night.

There will not be a re-cap for the 7U Coach Pitch State Tournament.

The reason is because I (Team Mom) only attended 2 games this weekend. Congratulations GEORGIA TEAM RAIDERS for 3rd place finish. OUR boys are GREAT Athletes and we are very Proud of Each of you.

Special Shout Out: Miles really played BIG BOY Ball this weekend. He had some very good hits, including denting up the scoreboard with one of his home runs. Way to GO Miles!

GOOD LUCK in the 7U KID PITCH AND COACH PITCH WORLD SERIES. History in the making...

Recap for GT RAIDERS 1ST Kid Pitch USSSA Tournament

RAIDERS 7U KID PITCH STATE RUNNER-UP

This is dedicated to all of the NAYSAYERS and the Teams who thought we were Running From YOU!

We came into this tournament after playing a few kid pitch games and we left no doubt that we are truly the best!! It was a 100 degrees (in the shade) this weekend and our boys played GREAT!

Our first game was on Saturday morning against the Dacula Falcons. Jeremiah came out throwing strike after strike, our bats were ready and our defense was on point. Final score GTR 9/Falcons 1.

Next game was against the Gamers RED. Jadyn was our pitcher and did very good. Gamers got an early lead, but the Raiders came back and put some runs on the scoreboard. In the final inning, our defense fell apart. We pride ourselves on being the best 7U defensive team in America, but we gave up three runs on errors and the Gamers Red won the game. Final score Gamers Red 6/GTR 5.

Our loss dropped us to the loser's bracket. It was an uphill battle from there. If we wanted to win the State Championship, we were faced with winning 4 games in a row on Sunday!!

We played the Dacula Dash at 7:30pm. Our bats were on FIRE. Final score GTR 15/Dash 4. This was a long day of baseball.

Sunday's Games/Only the Best Teams were left in the Tournament

Our first game was against the Yard Dogs Red. Our starting pitcher for the game was Jeremiah and he was Great. Our defense was READY and backed up our pitchers very well. We even threw a runner out at home. Good Job RAIDERS! Final Score GTR 4/Yard Dogs Red 1.

Next game was against the Yard Dogs Black. A team we are very familiar with from the past 3 years. Our starting pitcher was Cole and he was throwing strikes. Our bats were on fire. Nicho hit an inside the park Home Run and Peetee relayed the ball from the outfield, Cole on the back up, scooped the ball making a quick throw to Jaybril at home and he laid down a nice tag. Final Score GTR 6/Yard Dogs Black 1.

Championship Game was against the Gamers RED. This was a very long game... Final score Gamers Red 14/GTR 13. Our boys were exhausted, but in "TRUE" Raider form they played through the heat.

For all the teams that did not get your chance to play the RAIDERS...STEP YOUR GAME UP!

Final Score GTR 18 Raptors 17.

The Championship Game was against the AL Bandits. This was our 5th and final game for the weekend and fatigue had set in but not much. We played very well against a very good team. Our Coaches pitched Great! Final Score GTR 20 vs AL Bandits 12.

As for our batters, every Raiders Player hit the ball! We had some great hits -several triples and doubles. Now for that Raiders Defense - Ya'll Know What it is! Those Raiders are Fundamentally Sound. A special note - Jaybril did a Great job at Catcher and Yes he will throw you out... We had alot of great plays.
