Trailblazers Repeat Champs at Cove Creek
The Huguenot Trailblazers put together an almost flawless defensive performance along with clutch pitching to win their second straight Cove Creek Championship. This was also the third consecutive tournament championship for the Trailblazers.
The Trailblazers opened against the Berrytown Bombers. Trey Rose pitched a great game for the boys. The Bombers jumped off to an early lead 1-0; then, three players came off the bench to tie the game. Luke, Cole and then Porter all delivered singles to even the score 1-1. The Bombers led off the bottom of the 5th with home run to take the lead 2-1. Mac led off the 6th with a hit then Tyler delivered the big blow with a home run to right. Gregory scored the last run on Conner's double to left. Trailblazers win 4-2.
Bryan, Tyler, Mac and Cole combined to pitch a 2- hitter as the Trailblazers beat the Herndon all-stars 4-1 in the final game of pool play. Porter was the hitting star going 3 for 3.
The first game of championship Sunday was against the Gaithersburg all-stars. Cole, Mac and Tyler teamed to hold GSA to 3 hits and 1 run. The Trailblazers took an early lead with Eric's triple and then Mac's 2 run home run. Colton scored the final run in a 3-1 victory.
The Trailblazers faced a strong Pasadena team in the semi-finals. Nathan struck out 7 and held the visitors to one hit. Mac hit 2 home runs including one that landed on the roof over the play ground. Luke also hit a home run. The Trailblazers won 10-0 and advanced to the championship game.
Trey and Eric held a potent Cove Creek team to 6 hits and 3 runs. Conner put the Trailblazers ahead early with a sneaky delayed steal that turned into the first run. Luke, Porter, Trey, Nathan and Conner got hits in the 4th inning to plate 3 more runs. Mac, Tyler and Gregory combined to plate the last 2 runs in the 5th inning. The boys took a 6-1 lead into the 6th inning. Cove Creek rallied late, but 2 plays at home sealed the win for the Trailblazers 6-3. This was a fitting finale for the Trailblazers. This was the last time they will wear green and yellow together. Great tournament, great 4 years, good luck at Coooperstown.

Trailblazers Successfully Defend Title in the 3rd Annual Memorial Day Showdown.
Behind some great pitching, superb hitting and timely defense, the Huguenot Trailblazers were victorious in the 3rd Annual Memorial Day Showdown hosted at their home complex. Notching victories against some very good teams, the Trailblazers allowed only seven runs over four games winning 11 to 3 in the final game against a very good Midlothian Blue Sox team. Emboldened by an emotional visit from former Trailblazer team members, the 12U Trailblazers demonstrated why they are one of the best teams in the state; All 13 team members pitched, all 13 team members batted and all 13 team members played exceptional defense.
Colton Konvicka and Porter Reinhart were spot on in their leadoff roles, bringing in Cole Ceperich and Bo Nahstoll who always seemed to find their way on base. Nathan Kirby and Bryan Miltenberger held true to their battling nature and made the pitchers work in every at bat. Timely bunting never seems to hurt. Gregory Mehfoud and Conner Melton were always ready to hit and did not disappoint the fans with some good two strike hitting. Eric Mayo and Trey Rose offered up timely appearances at the dish and helped their cause on more than one occasion. Luke Lowery, Tyler Carrico and Mac Caples all hit balls that would have easily cleared the outer limits on smaller fields
WOW. Special mention to the battery in the final game as Trey Rose pitched a complete game with just over 60 pitches in six innings, supported as always, by rock solid catching by Luke Lowery
on to the post season, Cove Creek, and Cooperstown.
