Upperclass Division

Pool Play Closes with Statement Wins. Bracket Play Starts Tomorrow.

Pool play wrapped across the Upperclass Division with tight finishes, explosive innings, and just enough separation to reveal the top eight. Twenty-nine teams came in looking for a shot. Now it's down to the ones who earned it — with bracket play at the Air Force Academy starting Saturday morning.

Albuquerque Baseball Academy 2026 – White took the No. 1 seed after three convincing wins. They posted a +18 run differential and 29 total runs scored, staying consistent at the plate and minimizing mistakes. Colorado Saints grabbed the 2-seed after scoring 33 runs across pool play, showcasing one of the most complete lineups in the field.

Elite Baseball Vais and BDA Baseball followed in the 3- and 4-seeds, each going 3-0 and finding ways to win in close spots. Vais dropped 14 in their final game. BDA survived a tight 5-4 finish to close strong. Colorado Ball Players Academy 18U and Colorado Banana Slugs also secured bracket spots with balanced rosters and timely hitting. Diamond Springs Elite used a 15-run statement win to power their way in, and North Seattle Rainiers 18U finished it out with a 2-1 record and just 11 runs allowed.

From shutouts to slugfests, Day 3 had it all. The top seeds proved they belong, but there's not much room for error heading into the weekend. The matchups are tight, the margins are thin, and the teams that pitch well and play clean baseball will be the ones still standing Sunday afternoon.



Underclass Division

Pool Play Wraps. Bracket Play Begins. It's Time for Baseball That Matters.

Three full days of pool play are complete, and the Underclass Division has officially shifted into bracket mode. The top eight teams move on with a shot at the championship. The rest will keep competing in a final bracket that offers one last chance to finish the weekend with a win.

Albuquerque Baseball Academy 2028 Navy secured the No. 1 seed with 43 total runs scored and only six allowed. They dominated both sides of the ball and closed out with a 23-0 win. Canes GP KC–Elder Black 16U followed closely behind, scoring 42 runs of their own and showcasing the type of depth that plays well in bracket formats.

ABA 2028 Gold earned the 3-seed with strong pitching and clean defense, giving up just five runs in pool play. Southwest Snipers 2027 comes in at No. 4 after closing out with a 15-1 statement win. 719 Reichers, DC A's Scout 16U, 303 Burn Baseball HS, and ABA 2028 White round out the top eight — all with strong cases to make a run.
