18U: IMPACT CAYMOL PREMIER 6, GEORGIA IMPACT-TAYLOR 4

Impact Caymol Premier defeated Georgia Impact-Taylor, 6-4, in the 18U championship game of PGF Georgia Show Me The Money on Sunday at Lost Mountain Park in Cobb County, GA.

Impact Caymol pocketed the $10,000 prize money.

Uncommitted 2026 P Jessie Crye pitched three complete games on Sunday in wins over LLG DPS Corn (one-hitter), Select Fastpitch-Jones (four-hitter) and the final over Georgia Impact-Taylor. Uncommitted 2025 OF Demere Gray hit .480 with seven stolen bases to lead Impact Caymol’s offense throughout the tournament.

“Our intent each fall is to develop as we always use these fall games as (a) tool to stretch and stress the teams to get the maximum amount of learning in a short period of time,” Impact coach Teo Caymol said. “If we win some tournaments, that’s just icing on the cake. I’m also proud of our 14U team for taking 3rd place here.”

16U: TEAM NC-BOWMAN, ATLANTA VIPERS 09-CRENSHAW, TAMPA MUSTANGS-FOWLER AND UNITY-AMSLER/JOHNSON SHARE 16U TITLE

Team NC-Bowman, Atlanta Vipers 09-Crenshaw, Tampa Mustangs-Fowler and Unity-Amsler/Johnson all reached the semifinals of the 64-team tournament and all agreed not to play the semifinals and finals and finished in a four-way tie for first place on Sunday at Sharon Springs in Forsyth County, GA.

“I thought we did very well,” Mustangs coach Kyle Fowler said. “Our bats came alive and we had really good pitching. My team had a chip on their shoulder that they weren’t invited to Clearwater (Fall Classic). We ended up going to a showcase in Orlando and went 6-0 in 18s.”

2027 MIF Maren Hornsby hit .619 for the weekend with a .652 OBP and seven SBs and uncommitted 2026 RHP Lauren Compton pitched 22 innings with 17 strikeouts and a 2.00 ERA to lead the Mustangs.

The Mustangs are going to try and qualify for the Alliance National at a qualifier in December. They plan to play PGF Show Me The Money, Top Gun Invitational, either Atlanta Legacy Showcase or Triple Crown Nationals, and Alliance National this summer.

Unity coach Dave Amsler said the lateness and weather made the decision not to play the semifinals and finals simple.

“It was getting very late,” Amsler sid. “Championship games wouldn’t have finished in time. My team was the definition of tough. A first-year 16U team, we were missing three key players, another who was sick trying to tough it out and one fighting through a hand injury and still managed some extremely tough wins. (I) couldn’t be prouder.”

Team NC coach Brian Bowman was proud of his team’s performance.

“These girls competed this weekend, just like they have at every stop this fall,” Bowman said. “Yes, we are blessed with talent, but this group loves the big lights, loves playing for each other and finds what feels like a different way to win each game. The future is bright for our 2027 and 2028 class on the recruiting trail.”

The teams decided to split the prize money and each team received $3,000.

“We decided to all split the money because of the long drives and flights to catch for some teams,” Vipers coach Kenneth Crenshaw said.

“(I’m) extremely proud of our team’s performance all weekend, going undefeated against some of the best teams in the country as a first-year 16U team. In the Round of 16, we won a 9-inning game against Birmingham Thunderbolts Premier-Thompson.”

“In the quarterfinals, we beat (Georgia) Impact (09)-O’Neal, 6-5, in ITB fashion. (I’m) extremely proud of the grit and fortitude our girls displayed all weekend. We have elite talent and are just getting started. Many college coaches have taken notice of our team and we are very excited for what the future holds for these young ladies.”

14U: EC BULLETS-ELLIS/CORNETT, BIRMINGHAM THUNDERBOLTS PREMIER 2028-BRASHEARS FINISH AS CO-CHAMPIONS

EC Bullets-Ellis/Cornett and Birmingham Thunderbolts Premier 2028-Brashears, the reigning PGF 14U Platinum national champion, decided not to play the 14U championship game and finished as co-champions on Sunday at Al Bishop Park in Marietta, GA.

They both split the 12,000 prize money.

The EC Bullets also won their pool at the Ray Seymour Invitational, they won an Alliance Super Cup Qualifier and they won the Triple Crown Road to the Rockies so far this fall.

The core of this EC Bullets-Ellis/Cornett group has been together since 9U and they are starting to make a lot of noise on the national stage.

“We’ve been together a long time,” Bullets coach Paul Ellis said. “I was really proud of them. They battled and kept working. They are all great players and have great attitudes.”

Ellis said he received numerous standout performances from his players:

• 2028 SS/UT Aubrey Shelton (.615 AVG, 7 RBIs, 8 hits) was the team’s best fielder. She was a walking highlight reel with her glove and made some circus plays with her glove and arm. She can throw runners out from anywhere on the left side of the field;
• 2028 C/3B/UT Audrey Riley (.462 AVG, 8 runs) calls her own games and coaches continually comment on her attitude firing up the team and her pitchers;
• 2028 CF Chloe Armiger (7 runs, 100 percent SBs) play in CF is one of her biggest assets. There is nothing that lands if it’s in her vicinity. She’s the team’s leadoff hitter and really started the Bullets off right in several games with triples in the first at-bat;
• 2028 RHP/MIF/1B Keira Bertoglio pitched in five games this tournament and teams only hit .190 against her. She has signature wins this year against Bolts-Brashears, Ohio Outlaws, Santa Fe Inferno-Humphrey, Orion Hunter Elite, Fury Platinum X-Higdon and Team NC-Walker;
• 2028 C/3B Lilly Keeling hit four HRs with a grand slam last tournament. She calls her own games and had some great putouts at 3B;
• 2029 OF Tenley Rendell (8 RBIs, HR) won the championship in Triple Crown Road to the Rockies with a HR to take the win. She’s an amazingly fast outfielder and dangerous baserunner;
• Makayla Johnson was one of the Bullets’ best hitters this weekend and a slapper/sure-handed MIF, who runs the bases as well as anyone. She’s a top track sprinter from her area.

Thunderbolts coach Jacob Brashears added:

“I am very proud of our girls for making it into the Championship game. It was a great end to our fall season with this group of resilient young ladies. We are extremely excited for the growth this group has made and looking forward to a strong winter of development to take into summer of 2025!”
