It sure sounds like TC/USA Nats, although Corona Angels beat ECB in the championship game. FWIW, I think the gap between PGF and ASA is greatest at 18U and narrows at each younger age level.EC Bullets v. Florida ????I was expecting this before I played-back the semi's and finals from Georgia where the cheating pitcher from EC Bullets won it all but honestly I did NOT see a higher level of play. That was 18U though. Maybe at the younger ages it is more like you are saying.Agreed.
The distance between ASA and PGF is getting larger.
Wasn't that a Triple Crown event?
I listed TC/USA Nats as one of the top national tournaments instead of a national champonship because they don't have qualifiers. Entry is based on prior year's performance.
