14U Ruffnecks: Experience Leads to Steady Improvement
TEAM ROSTER | TEAM SCHEDULE
The 14U Ruffnecks return 13 out of 14 players from 2020. Preparation for the spring season has begun! With the addition of 2 newcomers, the 15 man squad is ready for the 2021 season. The abbreviated season of 2020 affected this class more than any other. Nonetheless, with access to the NEBC, quality coaching, and a determination to play as much baseball as possible, this group got as much from the Covid-shortened season as one can expect. During the Fall of 2020, most of the returning players assisted with the 13U Fall Development program. Their participation in drills, organization, and even peer instruction, helped deliver a great fall to over 45 new 13U players.
Team Pivots to Charleston, SC for Wood Bat World Series
The traditional July “end of season” trip has been to Nashville, TN for the past 14 years (until the Covid summer of 2020). Sadly, the event will not be held again in 2021. The 14U Ruffnecks turn toward the CABA 14U Wood Bat World Series in Charleston, South Carolina. The trip projects to be a fun experience for the team to come together in a new place. Following Charleston, the 14s return to New England for some competitive baseball in an older event. By the end of July our expectation is that this group of players will have made up for lost time!
Tournament Update: 14’s in South Carolina for 14U CABA Wood WS
The 14U Ruffnecks played 5 games at the CABA Wood Bat World Series in Charleston, South Carolina July 10-14. Owen Ellsworth, Jeremy Krendel, and Brendan Norton all gave the ‘Necks strong starts. Offensively, the team hit well in the first two games before getting blanked by an outstanding pitcher from the South Carolina Diamond Devils on Sunday, July 11. The Ruffnecks split their final two games. The trip was an enjoyable, competitive, experience for the squad.
14’s Finish July at Home in Two Events
The team returns home to compete in the 14U GBG Invitational July 16-18 in a combined roster effort with several 13’s. The squad also uses a combined roster for the 14U Summer Series July 24-28 at the NEBC.
In the first three games the Ruffnecks have gone 3-0 in the Summer Series. They finish Pool Play on Monday, July 26.
